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

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

Do remember that one line does nothing; it is only in relation to another that it creates a volume.

I've been forty years discovering that the queen of all colors is black.

I would like to recapture that freshness of vision which is characteristic of extreme youth when all the world is new to it.

For my part I have never avoided the influence of others. I would have considered it cowardice and a lack of sincerity toward myself.

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.
