For me, love must be ugly, looks must be divine, and death must be beautiful.

I am making things that inspire me with a profound emotion and I am trying to paint them honestly.

Begin by learning to draw and paint like the old masters. After that, you can do as you like; everyone will respect you.

New skin, a new land! And a land of liberty, if that is possible! I chose the geology of a land that was new to me.

Just as I am astonished that a bank clerk never eats a cheque, so too am I astonished that no painter before me ever thought of painting a soft watch.

I am not strange. I am just not normal.

Young people need plenty of difficulties to achieve something.... If you receive a little money for this, a little money for that, everything becomes mediocre, and collapses ignominiously.
