I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone, because I am the person I know best.

Since my subjects have always been my sensations, my states of mind and the profound reactions that life has been producing in me, I have frequently objectified all this in figures of myself, which were the most sincere and real thing that I could do in order to express what I felt inside and outside of myself.

I am that clumsy human, always loving, loving, loving. And loving. And never leaving.

The most important thing for everyone in Gringolandia is to have ambition and become 'somebody,' and frankly, I don't have the least ambition to become anybody.

... there is a skeleton (or death) that flees terrified in the face of my will to live.

I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone, because I am the person I know best.

Really, I do not know whether my paintings are surrealist or not, but I do know that they are the frankest expression of myself.
