Throughout the time in which I am working on a canvas I can feel how I am beginning to love it, with that love which is born of slow comprehension.

To gain freedom is to gain simplicity.

What I am looking for... is an immobile movement, something which would be the equivalent of what is called the eloquence of silence, or what St. John of the Cross, I think it was, described with the term 'mute music'.

I want to assassinate painting.

For me, a painting must give off sparks. It must dazzle like the beauty of a woman or a poem.

A simple line painted with the brush can lead to freedom and happiness.

When I stand before a canvas, I never know what I'll do, and I am the first one surprised at what comes out.
