"In my painting, I try to break up a moment in time, to capture a flash of light, but still leave an opening to the infinite, as if nothing remained of the painting in the end...Look! It is as if I were painting a comet coming down from the cosmos, that caught my eye for an incandescent, fluorescent moment then went on its way in the galaxies..." - Rita Letendre in "Vie Des Arts" no 57.
