Painting and art cannot be taught. You can save time if someone tells you to put blue and yellow together to make green, but the essence of painting is a self-disciplined activity that you have to learn by yourself.

The artist has to be something like a whale swimming with his mouth wide open, absorbing everything until he has what he really needs.

I want to see how life can triumph.

When I conjure these memories, they are of the present to me, because after all, the artist is a kind of enchanter in time.

You don't paint what you see, you paint what you feel.

Memory embellishes Life. Forgetfulness makes it possible.

Art is the soul of a people.
