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

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.

Art is a spiritual, immaterial respite from the hardships of life.

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.

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

I describe in a realistic form a nonrealistic Reality.

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.
