My figures come and go, suggested by fortune or misfortune. I try to fix them divested of their apparent accidental quality.

The stronger and more intense my desire becomes to capture and record that which is unsayable, the more tightly my mouth stays shut.

I believe the reason I love painting so much is that it forces one to be objective.

If you wish to get hold of the invisible you must penetrate as deeply as possible into the visible.

Love in an animal sense is an illness, but a necessity which one has to overcome.

The important thing is first of all to have a real love for the visible world that lies outside ourselves as well as to know the deep secret of what goes on within ourselves.

Space, and space again, is the infinite deity which surrounds us and in which we are ourselves contained.
