All I did was to look at what the universe showed me, to let my brush bear witness to it.

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

When you go out to paint, try to forget what objects you have before you - a tree, house, a field....Merely think, here is a little square of blue, here an oblong of pink, here a streak of yellow, and paint it just as it looks to you, the exact color and shape, until it gives your own naive impression of the scene before you.

Despite my extremely modest prices, dealers and art lovers are turning their backs on me. It is very depressing to see the lack of interest shown in an art object which has no market value.

All I did was to look at what the universe showed me, to let my brush bear witness to it.

What I need most of all is color, always, always.

It is a tragedy that we live in a world where physical courage is so common, and moral courage is so rare.
