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

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

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 use of expressive colors is felt to be one of the basic elements of the modern mentality, an historical necessity, beyond choice.

Precision is not reality

Impressionism is the newspaper of the soul.

All my efforts go into creating an art that can be understood by everyone.
