I don't own any of my own paintings because a Picasso original costs several thousand dollars and that's a luxury I cannot afford.

I paint objects as I think them, not as I see them.

Painting is a jeu d'esprit.

In art intentions are not sufficient and, as we say in Spanish, love must be proved by deeds and not by reasons. What one does is what counts and not what one had the intention of doing.

Who sees the human face correctly: the photographer, the mirror, or the painter?

I would like to manage to prevent people from ever seeing how a picture of mine has been done. What can it possibly matter? What I want is that the only thing emanating from my pictures should be emotion.

We have learned nothing.
