Experience has two things to teach. The first is that we must correct a great deal and the second, that we must not correct too much.

The secret of not having worries, for me at least, is to have ideas.

A taste for simplicity cannot last for long.

Everyone knows that yellow, orange, and red suggest ideas of joy and plenty. I can paint you the skin of Venus with mud, provided you let me surround it as I will.

All painting worth its name, unless one is talking about black and white, must include the idea of color as one of its necessary supports, in the same way that it includes chiaroscuro, proportion, and perspective.

What is real for me are the illusions I create with my paintings. Everything else is quicksand.

We work not only to produce, but to give value to time.
