The real subject of every painting is light.
Color is my day-long obsession, joy and torment.
The richness I achieve comes from nature, the source of my inspiration.
No one is an artist unless he carries his picture in his head before painting it, and is sure of his method and composition.
For me, the subject is of secondary importance: I want to convey what is alive between me and the subject.
What I need most of all is color, always, always.
