I await joyous surprises while working, an awakening of the materials that I work with and that my spirit develops.

My drawings inspire, and are not to be defined. They place us, as does music, in the ambiguous realm of the undetermined.

One must respect black. Nothing prostitutes it.

While I recognize the necessity for a basis of observed reality... true art lies in a reality that is felt.

My originality consists in putting the logic of the visible to the service of the invisible.

I have a feeling only for shadows

The painter is not an intellectual if, when he has painted a nude woman, he gives us the idea that she is just about to put her clothes back on.
