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.

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.

Man needs music, literature, and painting - all those oases of perfection that make up art - to compensate for the rudeness and materialism of life.

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.

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

When you start a painting, it is somewhat outside you. At the conclusion, you seem to move inside the painting.
