You have to have an idea of what you are going to do, but it should be a vague idea.

Computers are useless. They can only give you answers.

Colors, like features, follow the changes of the emotions.

Work is a necessity for man. Man invented the alarm clock.

The path to youth takes a lifetime.

Painting isn’t an aesthetic operation; it’s a form of magic designed as mediator between this strange hostile world and us.

Look for a situation in which your work will give you as much happiness as your spare time.

The more technique you have the less you have to worry about it. The more technique there is the less there is.

The purpose of Art is to create enthusiasm.

Everything you can imagine is real.

The people who make art their business are mostly imposters.

Reality is to be found in lightness and darkness.
