Nothing can be done without solitude. I've created my own solitude which nobody suspects

I who have been involved with all styles of painting can assure you that the only things that fluctuate are the waves of fashion which carry the snobs and speculators; the number of true connoisseurs remains more or less the same.

Never permit a dichotomy to rule your life, a dichotomy in which you hate what you do so you can have pleasure in your spare time. Look for a situation in which your work will give you as much happiness as your spare time.

If you're stuck in a painting, then stop and draw something else. Draw a flower and put your love into that flower. Then your powers will come back again.

Colors, like features, follow the changes of the emotions.

The only thing emanating from my pictures should be emotion.

Nothing can be done without solitude. I've created my own solitude which nobody suspects
