When I saw I was under attack from all sides, I knew I was on the right track.

If I'd had the nerve, I'd have become a thief or a gangster, but since I didn't, I became a photographer.

I photograph the things that I do not wish to paint, the things which already have an existence.

A creator needs only one enthusiast to justify him.

I paint what cannot be photographed, that which comes from the imagination or from dreams, or from an unconscious drive.

Of course, there will always be those who look only at technique, who ask 'how', while others of a more curious nature will ask 'why'. Personally, I have always preferred inspiration to information.
