The richness I achieve comes from nature, the source of my inspiration.
I would advise young artists to paint as they can, as long as they can, without being afraid of painting badly.
I'm not performing miracles, I'm using up and wasting a lot of paint.
The real subject of every painting is light.
For me, a landscape does not exist in its own right, since its appearance changes at every moment; but the surrounding atmosphere brings it to life - the light and the air which vary continually. For me, it is only the surrounding atmosphere which gives subjects their true value.
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.
