Art Is An Escape From Reality.

What I Dream Of Is An Art Of Balance.

Cutting Straight Into Color Reminds Me Of The Direct Carving Of The Sculptor.

I Wouldn't Mind Turning Into A Vermilion Goldfish.

Don't Try To Be Original. Be Simple. Be Good Technically, And If There Is Something In You, It Will Come Out.

I Don't Paint Women, I Paint Pictures. . . What I Am After Above All Is Expression. If In A Portrait I Put Eyes, A Nose, A Mouth, There Isn't Much Use; On The Contrary It Paralyses The Imagination Of The Spectator, And Obliges Us To See The Person In A Certain Way.
