Light is the most important person in the picture.

I know that to paint the sea really well, you need to look at it every hour of every day in the same place so that you can understand its way in that particular spot; and that is why I am working on the same motifs over and over again, four or six times even.

I can only draw what I see.

Everyone discusses my art and pretends to understand, as if it were necessary to understand, when it is simply necessary to love.

These landscapes of water and reflection have become an obsession.

No one is an artist unless he carries his picture in his head before painting it, and is sure of his method and composition.

My work is always better when I am alone and follow my own impressions.
