To Be An Artist Is To Believe

I Would Like My Work To Be Thought Of As A Celebration Of Life And Nature.

Art Is A Continuous Activity With No Separation Between Past And Present.

Between Beauty Of Expression And Power Of Expression There Is A Difference Of Function. The First Aims At Pleasing The Senses, The Second Has A Spiritual Vitality Which For Me Is More Moving And Goes Deeper Than The Senses.

The Soul Cannot Thrive In The Absence Of Art.

The Construction Of The Human Figure, Its Tremendous Variety Of Balance, Of Size, Of Rhythm, All Those Things Make The Human Form Much More Difficult To Get Right In A Drawing Than Anything Else.
