“I am always doing that which I can not do, in order that I may learn how to do it.”

Art is the elimination of the unnecessary.

I do not seek. I find.

I don’t work from nature, I work like nature.

Nature does many things the way I do, but she hides them!

There is no abstract art. You must always start with something. Afterward you can remove all traces of reality.

In every photographer there was a painter, a true artist, awaiting expression.

Art is the elimination of the unnecessary.

I do not seek. I find.

You have to start somewhere. You can always erase reality later on.

Every act of creation is first an act of destruction.

Music and art are the guiding lights of the world.

My hand tells me what I’m thinking.

I’d like to live as a poor man with lots of money.

I paint the way some people write an autobiography. The paintings, finished or not, are the pages from my diary.

The quality of a painter depends on the amount of past he carries with him.

I begin with an idea and then it becomes something else.

Until my ONE thing is done, everything else is a distraction.

It is with passion and dedication that I will be attentive to the needs of women and fight relentlessly for their rights.

I tell myself I can’t have off days.

I count the stars from whence we came. I name them all for you; my flame.

My goal is to be one with the music. I just dedicate my whole life to this art.

If you do not get what you want, it is a sure sign that you did not seriously want it.

I would steal the sun, if that is what it took to bring the light back into your eyes.

No hours, nor amount of labor, nor amount of money would deter me from giving the best that there was in me.
