In drawing, nothing is better than the first attempt.

I am always making that what I am not capable, in an attempt to learn how to doing it.

I paint the way some people write an autobiography. The paintings, finished or not, are the pages from my diary.

Computers are useless - all they can give you are answers.

I am always doing that which I cannot do, in order that I may learn how to do it.

Age only matters when one is aging. Now that I have arrived at a great age, I might as well be twenty.

If I had known there was such a thing as Islamic Calligraphy, I would never have started to paint. I have strived to reach the highest levels of artistic mastery, but I found that Islamic Calligraphy was there ages before I was.
