Try to walk as much as you can, and keep your love for nature, for that is the true way to learn to understand art more and more. Painters understand nature and love her and teach us to see her. If one really loves nature, one can find beauty everywhere.

I confess I do not know why, but looking at the stars always makes me dream.

Though I am often in the depths of misery, there is still calmness, pure harmony and music inside me.

For great things do not done just happen by impulse but are a succession of small things linked together.

I think that I still have it in my heart someday to paint a bookshop with the front yellow and pink in the evening...like a light in the midst of the darkness.

It's as interesting and as difficult to say a thing well as to paint it. There is the art of lines and colours, but the art of words exists too, and will never be less important.

What a simple thing death is, just as simple as the falling of an autumn leaf.
