I allow no one to touch me.

The world doesn't understand me and I don't understand the world, that's why I've withdrawn from it.

I have nothing to hide in art. The initial force alone can bring anyone to the end he must attain.

Nature is more depth than surface, the colours are the expressions on the surface of this depth; they rise up from the roots of the world.

There is a logic of colors, and it is with this alone, and not with the logic of the brain, that the painter should conform.

When the color achieves richness, the form attains its fullness also.

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