I always liked paintings to be walls rather than windows. When we see a painting on a wall, it's a window, so I often put my paintings in the middle of the space to make a wall.

If painting doesn't offer a way to dream and create emotions, then it's not worth it.

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.

Black ink was always my favorite. I loved it. And then one day I realized that the only thing I ever wanted to do was to paint.
