Drawing is a kind of hypnotism: one looks in such a way at the model, that he comes and takes a seat on the paper.

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

How could Michelangelo have seen his David in a block of marble? Man began to make images only because he discovered them nearly formed around him, already within reach. He saw them in a bone, in the bumps of a cave, in a piece of wood. One form suggested a woman to him, another a buffalo, still another the head of a monster.

Because I cannot work except in solitude, it is necessary that I live my work and that is impossible except in solitude.

The fingerprints of the god who amused himself fashioning them - I can see them on any bone whatsoever.

Do you think it interests me that this painting represents two figures? These two figures existed, they exist no more. The sight of them gave me an initial emotion, little by little their real presence grew indistinct they became a fiction for me, then they disappeared, or rather, were turned into problems of all kinds. For me they are no longer two figures but shapes and colours, don't misunderstand me, shapes and colours, though, that sum up the idea of the two figures and preserve the vibration of their existence.
