My themes are derived from current events, from familiar situations, from daily life, because I never actively intervene against the object, I can feel the magic of its presence.

I always use given and simple elements, I don't want to add or subtract anything.

I love America. I lived here too but my links are exclusively Italian.

All I know is that mine was a completely new theory about art, a new approach that made the pictures appear just like life does.

I never lost the taste and craft of the Renaissance.

I know how pathetically inadequate my medium [painting] is, but unfortunately I dispose of no other.
