The architects Eva and Niels Koppel, Gentofte. "(.) I want to catch the golden light of the sun and fix it on the canvas. Nothing is more difficult. I want to arrest the streaming - shimmering and vibrating light encircling our world
to arrest this light in time, time in it's constant flux, causing new directions in the destiny of man. Cities rise and fall. Man is born, lives and dies. Created by the sun's flaming mountains, the great movement in nature is reflected in blazing starfire. colors, strange and alluring, act on human life. Heart red color of love which liberates and imprisons, leads you to blue-green seas, where your home is, and where your children shall be born and loved. I want to catch the secrets of color and give them to you, one by one. I know I can do it. Or, I will let my doubt lead me safely around the rocks, to the Island where the bird Phoenix hides and lives inside the fire. (.)"
