My choice of colors does not rest on any scientific theory, it is based on observation, on feeling, on the experience of my sensibility.

The living model, the naked body of a woman, is the privileged seat of feeling, but also of questioning... The model must mark you, awaken in you an emotion which you seek in turn to express.

Cutting straight into color reminds me of the direct carving of the sculptor.

The use of expressive colors is felt to be one of the basic elements of the modern mentality, an historical necessity, beyond choice.

All art worthy of the name is religious.

It has bothered me all my life that I do not paint like everybody else.

Beauty comes from the balance between two and three dimensions, between abstraction and representation - I seek the equilibrium behind changing appearances.
