More important than a work of art itself is what it will sow. Art can die, a painting can disappear. What counts is the seed.

The more I work, the more I want to work.

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

To gain freedom is to gain simplicity.

What I will no longer accept is the mediocre life of a modest little gentleman.

Little by little, I've reached the stage of using only a small number of forms and colors. It's not the first time that painting has been done with a very narrow range of colors. The frescoes of the tenth century are painted like this. For me, they are magnificent things.

The simplest things give me ideas.
