I do not paint what I see, but what I saw.

A work of art comes only from inside a human being.

Just as Leonardo da Vinci studied human anatomy and dissected corpses, so I try to dissect souls.

I sense a scream passing through nature. I painted ... the clouds as actual blood. The colour shrieked.

Without fear and disease, my life would be like a boat without oars.
