The soul cannot thrive in the absence of art.

All good art has contained both abstract and surrealist elements, just as it has contained both classical and romantic elements - order and surprise, intellect and imagination, conscious and unconscious. BOTH SIDES of the artist's personality must play their part.

The observation of nature is part of an artist's life.

You must always be open to your luck. You cannot force it, but you can recognize it.

A sculptor is a person who is interested in the shape of things, a poet in words, a musician by sounds.

I sometimes draw just for its own enjoyment.

To be an artist is to believe in life.
