“Love is the greatest refreshment in life”

Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working.

Love must be proved by deeds and not by reasons.

Art is a leap into the dark.

The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.

Painting it’s a blind man profession. Painter is painting not what he sees but what he feels.

Sex and art are the same thing.

Art is a lie that makes us realize the truth.

The important thing is to create. Nothing else matters; creation is all.

Age only matters when one is aging.

A picture is not thought out and settled beforehand. While it is being done it changes as one’s thoughts change.

When I paint a woman in an armchair, the armchair is there to show illness and death-or as a protection.

A painter paints to unload himself of feelings and visions.

I paint objects as I think them not as I see them.

No, painting is not interior decoration. It is an instrument of war for attack and defense against the enemy.

I don’t say everything, but I paint everything.

Good taste is the enemy of creativity.
