To be a surrealist means barring from your mind all remembrance of what you have seen, and being always on the lookout for what has never been.

I want nevertheless to add that for me the world is a defiance of common sense.

A thing which is present can be invisible, hidden by what it shows

We must not fear daylight just because it almost always illuminates a miserable world.

We are surrounded by curtains. We only perceive the world behind a curtain of semblance. At the same time, an object needs to be covered in order to be recognized at all.

The mind loves the unknown. It loves images whose meaning is unknown, since the meaning of the mind itself is unknown.

Life obliges me to do something, so I paint.
