The artist is the hand that, by touching this or that key, sets the soul vibrating automatically.

To create a work of art is to create the world.

The sensations of colors on the palette can be spiritual experiences.

There is only one road to follow, that of analysis of the basic elements in order to arrive ultimately at an adequate graphic expression.

I applied streaks and blobs of colors onto the canvas with a palette knife, and I made them sing with all the intensity I could.

Absolute green is the most restful color, lacking any undertone of joy, grief, or passion. On exhausted men this restfulness has a beneficial effect, but after a time it becomes tedious.

That is beautiful which is produced by the inner need, which springs from the soul.
