When I am finished painting, I paint again for relaxation.

Disciples be damned. It's not interesting. It's only the masters that matter. Those who create.

Painting isn't made for the decoration of apartments; it is a weapon to be used offensively and defensively against the enemy.

The fact that for a long time Cubism has not been understood and that even today there are people who cannot see anything in it means nothing. I do not read English, an English book is a blank book to me. This does not mean that the English language does not exist. Why should I blame anyone but myself if I cannot understand what I know nothing about?" -Pablo Picasso.

I have always believed and still believe that artists who live and work with spiritual values cannot and should not remain indifferent to the conflict in which the highest values of humanity and civilization are at stake.

A painting is not thought out in advance. While it is being done, it changes as one’s thoughts change. And when it’s finished, it goes on changing, according to the state of mind of whoever is looking at it

Painting isn't an aesthetic operation; it's a form of magic designed as mediator between this strange hostile world and us.
