My eyes were finally opened and I understood nature. I learned at the same time to love it.

The position of the artist is humble. He is essentially a channel.

The surface of things gives enjoyment, their interiority gives life.

Intellect confuses intuition.

abstract art is not the creation of another reality but the true vision of reality.

The more basic the colour, the more inward, the purer.

Art is not made for anybody and is, at the same time, for everybody.

I don’t think I’m made for any earthly kind of pleasure.

It's the hardest thing to be alone in being satisfied with what one's done.

Techniques vary, art stays the same; it is a transposition of nature at once forceful and sensitive.

I am good at only two things, and those are gardening and painting.

the more I live, the more I regret how little i know

I had so much fire in me and so many plans.

I didn't become an impressionist. For as long as I can remember I always have been one.

I'm not performing miracles, I'm using up and wasting a lot of paint.

I am very depressed and deeply disgusted with painting. It is really continual torture.

My garden is my most beautiful masterpiece

The richness I achieve comes from nature, the source of my inspiration.

These landscapes of water and reflection have become an obsession.
