If I paint a wild horse, you might not see the horse... but surely you will see the wildness!

If there were only one truth, you couldn't paint a hundred canvases on the same theme.

When I paint I feel that all the artists of the past are behind me.

Action is the foundation of all success.

It is personality with a penny's worth of talent. Error which chances to rise above the commonplace.

Can you imagine me calling myself "Ruiz"? "Pablo Ruiz"? "Diego-José Ruiz"? Or "Juan-Népomucène Ruiz"? I was given I don't know how many names.
