Color is my day-long obsession, joy and torment.

I would advise young artists to paint as they can, as long as they can, without being afraid of painting badly.

I waited for the idea to consolidate, for the grouping and composition of themes to settle themselves in my brain.

Light is the most important person in the picture.

Colors pursue me like a constant worry. They even worry me in my sleep.

Color is my day-long obsession, joy and torment.

It was at home I learned the little I know. Schools always appeared to me like a prison, and never could I make up my mind to stay there, not even for four hours a day, when the sunshine was inviting, the sea smooth, and when it was joy to run about the cliffs in the free air, or to paddle in the water.
