Painting, like any art, comprises a technique, a workmanlike handling of material, but the accuracy of a tone and the fictitious combination of effects depend entirely on the choice made by the artist.

The painter must enclose himself within his work; he must respond not with words, but with paintings.

There is no model, there is only color.

You must think. The eye is not enough; it needs to think as well.

The landscape becomes human, becomes a thinking, living being within me. I become one with my picture...we merge in an iridescent chaos.

An art which isn't based on feeling isn't an art at all.

I allow no one to touch me.
