I often think about death and it saddens me to leave this world and not be able to paint more. I love it so much.

I describe in a realistic form a nonrealistic Reality.

I'm a tireless worker; I don't consider painting a work, it is not an obligation, I do it for pleasure; I haven't found anything that amuses me more than painting.

In art, as long as you have ideas and think, you are bound to deform nature. Art is deformation.

An artist is attracted to certain kinds of form without knowing why. You adopt a position intuitively; only later do you attempt to rationalize or even justify it.

I create my subjects somehow visualizing them in my style. I start as a poet, put the colors and composition down on canvas as a painter, but finish my work as a sculptor taking delight in caressing the forms.

Sculptures permit me to create real volume One can touch the forms, one can give them smoothness, the sensuality that one wants.
