In spite of everything, I shall rise again

I believe it is one's duty to paint the rich and magnificent aspects of nature. We need gaiety and happiness, hope and love.

I want to get to the point where people say of my work, that man feels deeply.

Let life be beautiful like summer flowers and death be like autumn leaves. Rabindranath Tagore What a simple thing death is, just as simple as the falling of an autumn leaf.

The more I think about it, the more I realize there is nothing more artistic than to love others.

I long so much to make beautiful things. But beautiful things require effort and disappointment and perseverance.

As a painter I shall never signify anything of importance. I feel it Absolutely.
