It took me 40 years to find out that painting is not sculpture.

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.

Everything in nature takes its form from the sphere, the cone and the cylinder.

Painting from nature is not copying the object; it is realizing one's sensations.

What I am trying to translate to you is more mysterious, it is entwined in the very roots of being, in the implacable source of sensations.

See nature in terms of the cone, the cylinder, and the sphere.

It's not just about looking and copying, it's about feeling too
