For as long as I can remember I have suffered from a deep feeling of anxiety which I have tried to express in my art.

Through my art I have tried to explain my life and its meaning. I have also intended to help others to clarify their lives.

What is art? Art grows from joy and sorrow, but mostly from sorrow. It grows from human lives.

When I paint, I never think of selling. People simply fail to understand that we paint in order to experiment and to develop ourselves as we strive for greater heights.

There is a battle that goes on between men and women. Many people call it love.

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

This kind of painting with its large frames is a bourgeois drawing-room art. It is an art dealer's art-and that came in after the civil wars following the French Revolution.
