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.

I have no fear of photography as long as it cannot be used in heaven and in hell.

It is better to have a good painting with ten holes than ten bad paintings without any holes.

From my rotting body, flowers shall grow and I am in them and that is eternity.

I should have considered it wrong to have finished the Frieze before the room for its accommodation and the funds for its completion were available.

Colors live a remarkable life of their own after they have been applied to the canvas.
