I want to die painting.

My age and health will never allow me to realize the dream of art I've been pursuing all my life.

Knowledge of the means to express our emotion is essential- and is acquired only after a very long experience.

The awareness of our own strength makes us modest.

I ask you to pray for me, for once age has overtaken us, we find consolation only in religion.

Painting is founded on the heart controlled by the head.

Shadow is a colour as light is, but less brilliant; light and shadow are only the relation of two tones.
