Photographs will always be impressive because they show us nature, and all artists will find in them a world of sensations. The photographer must therefore intervene as little as possible, so as not to cause photography to lose the objective charm which it naturally possesses, notwithstanding its defects.

The artists must see all things as if he were seeing them for the first time. All his life he must see as he did when he was a child.

It is not enough to place colors, however beautiful, one beside the other; colors must also react on one another. Otherwise, you have cacophony.

When a painting is finished, it's like a new born child, and the artist himself must have time for understanding. How then do you expect an amateur to understand that which the artist dos not yet comprehend.

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

Creation begins with vision.

I am unable to make any distinction between the feeling I get from life and the way I translate that feeling into painting.
