I never lost the taste and craft of the Renaissance.

I never tried to stage, to fabricate an image.

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.

My life provides me with these images that become expressions of my daily experience.

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

I never lost the taste and craft of the Renaissance.

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.
