In the beginning you must subject yourself to the influence of nature. You must be able to walk firmly on the ground before you start walking on a tightrope.

I was driven on by.. A force which I see today as something alien to my normal life... so I have been no more than a medium as it were.

A work should contain its total meaning within itself and should impress it on the spectator before he even knows the subject.

From the moment I held the box of colors in my hands, I knew this was my life. I threw myself into it like a beast that plunges towards the thing it loves.

My curves are not crazy.

Exactitude is not truth.

My pictures are made up of four or five colors that collide with one another.
