Hundertwasser's comment on the work

Spirals, annual rings (concentric circles) and labyrinths may look alike, but they have nothing in common. I tried to master all three as forms of expression. How to draw a labyrinth was shown to me by Paloma, Picasso's daughter. (from: Hundertwasser 1928-2000, Catalogue Raisonné, Vol. 2, Taschen, Cologne, 2002, p. 283)
