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

I never retouch a sketch: I take a canvas the same size, as I may change the composition somewhat. But I always strive to give the same feeling, while carrying it on further.

Don't wait for inspiration. It comes while one is working.

An artist who wants to transpose a composition onto a larger canvas must conceive it over again in order to preserve its expression; he must alter its character and not just fill in the squares into which he has divided his canvas.

Would not it be best to leave room to mystery?

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

Drawing is like making an expressive gesture with the advantage of permanence.
