I have sworn to die painting.

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

I have not tried to reproduce nature; I have represented it.

The artist makes things concrete and gives them individuality.

When I judge art, I take my painting and put it next to a God made object like a tree or flower. If it clashes, it is not art.

To paint is not to copy the object slavishly, it is to grasp a harmony among many relationships.

Tell me, do you think I'm going mad? I sometimes wonder, you know.
