Understanding this quote
The speaker describes the paintings as responses to an ongoing relationship with reality, nature, and the visible world around them. “Repercussions” suggests that these surroundings leave an effect that appears in the work. The paintings therefore reflect what the speaker encounters and sees, rather than existing separately from everyday experience.
