The energy within you is stronger than ever for being held back, compressed, and said No to.

I am unable to distinguish between the feeling I have for life and my way of expressing it.

Drawing is . . . not an exercise of particular dexterity, but above all a means of expressing intimate feelings and moods.

The chief function of color should be to serve expression as well as possible.

Color helps to express light, not the physical phenomenon, but the only light that really exists, that in the artist's brain.

It has always bothered me that I don't paint like everyone else

I do not repudiate any of my paintings but there isn't one of them that I would not redo differently, if I had it to redo. My destination is always the same but I work out a different route to get there.
