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

I am metaphysical inasmuch as I am looking for a non-eloquent painting, immobile and of atmosphere, which feeds on static situations.

For many years it was difficult for me to paint because I didn't feel the informal painting that was then tyrannically dominating painters and art collectors.

I don't want to think that I am going to believe that I am a hell of a genius, or anything like that.

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.

You begin looking at things and they look just fine, as normal as ever, but then you look for a while longer and your feelings get involved and they begin changing things for you and they go on and on till you only see your feelings, and that's why you see this mess.
