I'm very careful not to have ideas, because they're inaccurate.

Doing what you were born to do … That's the way to be happy.

Fulfill your potential. That's the way to happiness.

My paintings are not about what is seen. They are about what is known forever in the mind.

The enormous pitfall is devotion to oneself instead of to life. All works that are self-devoted are absolutely ineffective.

When I first made a grid I happened to be thinking of the innocence of trees and then this grid came into my mind and I thought it represented innocence, and I still do, and so I painted it and then I was satisfied. I thought, this is my vision.

I often paint tranquility. If you stop thinking and rest, then a little happiness comes into your mind. At perfect rest you are comfortable.
