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.

Prehistoric art came to move me much more than Greek art. Greek art has beautiful women and handsome men, but I don't care.

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

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 is a play of opacities and transparencies.

For me, it's important to experience aesthetic shock, which sets in motion our imagination, our emotions, our feelings, and our thoughts. That's the purpose of a painting and of art in general.
