If what you want to paint is the emotive mood in all its strength... then you must not sit and stare at everything and depict it exactly as one sees it.

The notes I have made are not a diary in the ordinary sense, but partly lengthy records of my spiritual experiences, and partly poems in prose.

Photography is an art which touches and grips one's own heart's blood.

Art comes from joy and pain...But mostly from pain.

I don’t believe in an art that is not born out of man’s need to open his heart.

A work of art comes only from inside a human being.

I do not paint what I see, but what I saw.
