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

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 try to apply colors like words that shape poems, like notes that shape music.

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

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

To gain freedom is to gain simplicity.
