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

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.

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

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.

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.

Genius is the ability to renew one's emotions in daily experience.

You must think. The eye is not enough; it needs to think as well.

Painting from nature is not copying the object; it is realizing one's sensations.

We live in a rainbow of chaos.

A work of art which did not begin in emotion is not art.

It is not about painting life, it is about making painting alive.
