“Knowledge of the means to express our emotion is essential- and is acquired only after a very long experience.”

I advance all of my canvas at one time.

An art which isn’t based on feeling isn’t an art at all.

We live in a rainbow of chaos.

Here, on the river’s verge, I could be busy for months without changing my place, simply leaning a little more to right or left.

Don’t be an art critic. Paint. There lies salvation.

I have to keep working, not to arrive at finish, which arouses the admiration of fools… I must seek completion only for the pleasure of being truer and more knowing.

Nature is more depth than surface, the colours are the expressions on the surface of this depth; they rise up from the roots of the world.

I am more a friend of art than a producer of painting.

You must think. The eye is not enough; it needs to think as well.

Art first of all is optical. That’s where the material of our art is: in what our eyes think.

To paint is not to copy the object slavishly, it is to grasp a harmony among many relationships.

All pictures painted inside in the studio will never be as good as the things done outside.

Get to the heart of what is before you and continue to express yourself as logically as possible.

The landscape becomes human, becomes a thinking, living being within me. I become one with my picture…we merge in an iridescent chaos.

Optics, developing in us through study, teach us to see.

Under this fine rain I breathe in the innocence of the world. I feel coloured by the nuances of infinity. At this moment I am one with my picture. We are an iridescent chaos.

Nothing is so silly as the expression of a man who is being complimented.

Beauty without expression is boring.

I don’t really believe in any fashion rules. I think fashion is a form of self-expression, wear whatever you want.

I try to stay in a constant state of confusion just because of the expression it leaves on my face.

Lightning is a pure expression of firebending without aggression.

I want to write because I have the urge to excel in one medium of translation and expression of life.

I realised fashion is nothing but freedom of expression.

Mr. Bean is at his best when he is not using words, but I am equally at home in both verbal and nonverbal expression.
