I want to die painting.
Art first of all is optical. That's where the material of our art is: in what our eyes think.
An art which isn't based on feeling isn't an art at all... feeling is the principle, the beginning and the end; craft, objective, technique - all these are in the middle.
It is not about painting life, it is about making painting alive.
I paint as if I were Rothschild.
It's so fine and yet so terrible to stand in front of a blank canvas.
