Light is the most important person in the picture.

Everything changes, even stone.

Most people think I paint fast. I paint very slowly.

I've done what I could as a painter and that seems to me to be sufficient. I don't want to be compared to the great masters of the past, and my painting is open to criticism; that's enough.

What could be said about me...a man to whom only his painting matters? And of course his garden and his flowers as well.

It is only too easy to catch people's attention by doing something worse than anyone else has dared to do it before.

The older I become the more I realize of that I have to work very hard to reproduce what I search: the instantaneous. The influence of the atmosphere on the things and the light scattered throughout.
