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

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.

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.
