Painting is a play of opacities and transparencies.

It's fascinating to think that as soon as man came into existence, he started painting.

I am against limitations like perspective. Perspective is illusion, it's the opposite of presence, and art is presence.

I never want to stop painting. I'm 94 now. What's my secret? I just keep thinking about the painting I'm going to do tomorrow.

I always loved to paint. As a kid, I liked to dip my paintbrush in black ink. They gave colors to me to use, but I didn't like them very much.

I realized that most people waste their lives earning a living, and I wanted to live. I love painting, so I keep painting. That's how I became an artist.

Painting isn't just pretty or pleasant; it is something that helps you to stand alone and face yourself.
