“People who read are people who dream.”

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.

Who sees the human face correctly: the photographer, the mirror, or the painter?

When I haven’t any blue I use red.

Painting is stronger than me, it makes me do it’s bidding.

Painting is not done to decorate apartments. It is an instrument of war.

Paradise is to love many things with a passion.
