If you have any notion of where you are going, you will never get anywhere.

The works must be conceived with fire in the soul but executed with clinical coolness.

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.

I want to assassinate painting.

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

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

If you have any notion of where you are going, you will never get anywhere.
