Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.

Everything you can imagine is real.

God is really only another artist, he made the elephant, giraffe and cat. He has no real style but keeps trying new ideas.

I am always doing that which I can not do, in order that I may learn how to do it.

Inspiration does exist, but it must find you working.

It is your work in life that is the ultimate seduction.

Painting is just another way of keeping a diary.

The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape...

There are painters who transform the sun to a yellow spot, but there are others who with the help of their art and their intelligence, transform a yellow spot into the sun.

There is no abstract art. You must always start with something. Afterward you can remove all traces of reality.

We all know that art is not the truth, art is a lie that makes us realize the truth.
