Do not become the slave of your model.

Sometimes I long so much to do landscape, just as one would go for a long walk to refresh oneself, and in all of nature, in trees for instance, I see expression and a soul.

Let’s not forget that the little emotions are the great captains of our lives and we obey them without realizing it.

I know for sure that I have an instinct for color, and that it will come to me more and more, that painting is in the very marrow of my bones.

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.

To try to understand the real significance of what the great artists, the serious masters, tell us in their masterpieces, that leads to God; one man wrote or told it in a book; another, in a picture.

...and then, I have nature and art and poetry, and if that is not enough, what is enough?
