Nothing is a waste of time if you use the experience wisely.

The human body is first and foremost a mirror to the soul and its greatest beauty comes from that.

Black is the queen of colours.

I would have to talk for a year to repeat a single on of my works with words.

What is drawing? Not once in describing the shape of the mass did I shift my eyes from the model. Why? Because I wanted to be sure that nothing evaded my grasp of it... My objective is to test to what extent my hands already feel what my eyes see.

There is nothing ugly in art except that which is without character, that is to say, that which offers no outer or inner truth.

The artist has only to trust his eyes.
