If I see everything in gray, and in gray all the colors which I experience and which I would like to reproduce, then why should I use any other color?

(Art is) the residue of vision.

Once the object has been constructed, I have a tendency to rediscover in it, transformed and displaced, images, impressions, facts which have deeply moved me (often without my knowing it).

When I see a head from a great distance, it ceases to be a sphere and becomes an extreme confusion falling down into the abyss.

Only reality interests me now and I know I could spend the rest of my life in copying a chair.

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.

It was always disappointing to see that what I could really master in terms of form boiled down to so little.
