At times it is not easy for me to take up living again.

The sunflower is mine, in a way.

It is good to love many things

What a splendid thing watercolour is to express atmosphere and distance, so that the figure is surrounded by air and can breathe in it.

My sketchbook is a witness of what I am experiencing, scribbling things whenever they happen.

What lives in art and is eternally living, is first of all the painter and then the painting.

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