If only someone else could paint what I see, it would be marvellous, because then I wouldnt have to paint at all.

The older I grow, the more I find myself alone.

What I am looking for is not happiness. I work solely because it is impossible for me to do anything else.

In every work of art the subject is primordial, whether the artist knows it or not. The measure of the formal qualities is only a sign of the measure of the artist's obsession with his subject; the form is always in proportion to the obsession.

Artistically I am still a child with a whole life ahead of me to discover and create. I want something, but I won't know what it is until I succeed in doing it.

It is impossible to do a thing the way I see it because the closer I get the more differently I see.

All the sculptures of today, like those of the past, will end one day in pieces... So it is important to fashion ones work carefully in its smallest recess and charge every particle of matter with life.
