There are two things in the painter, the eye and the mind; each of them should aid the other.

There is no model, there is only colour.

You have to hurry up if you want to see something, everything disappears.

Painting is damned difficult - you always think you've got it, but you haven't.

All the theories mess you up inside.

If I think, everything is lost.

The painter unfolds that which has not been seen.

I have not tried to reproduce nature; I have represented it.

Everything in nature takes its form from the sphere, the cone and the cylinder.

If isolation tempers the strong, it is the stumbling block of the uncertain.

Time and reflection change the sight little by little 'till we come to understand.

It's not just about looking and copying, it's about feeling too

Long live the sun which gives us such beautiful color.

The landscape thinks itself in me and I am its consciousness.

The awareness of our own strength makes us modest.

The most seductive thing about art is the personality of the artist himself.

Art is a harmony parallel with nature.

The truth is in nature, and I shall prove it.

To paint is not to copy the object slavishly, it is to grasp a harmony among many relationships.
