How many days have I spent alone with my cat... and when I say alone, I mean without a material being, for my cat is a mystical companion, a spirit.

You cannot possibly invent painting all by yourself.

I am just beginning to understand what it is to paint. A painter should have two lives, one in which to learn, and one in which to practice his art.

The precision of naming takes away from the uniqueness of seeing.

A painting that is well composed is half finished.

Art will never be able to exist without nature.

One does not always sing out of happiness.
