I never paint dreams or nightmares. I paint my own reality.

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

My art is rooted in a single reflection: why am I not as others are, my art gives meaning to my life.

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

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

I don’t believe in an art that is not born out of man’s need to open his heart.

There is a battle that goes on between men and women. Many people call it love.

From my rotting body, flowers shall grow and I am in them and that is eternity.

Art comes from joy and pain, But mostly from pain.

I love you more than my own skin.

My painting carries with it the message of pain.

I paint flowers to prevent them from dying

The only thing I know is that I paint because I need to.

I had something in my throat. It felt like I had swallowed the whole world.

I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone, because I am the person I know best.

Only one mountain can know the core of another mountain.

To trap one's self-suffering is to risk being devoured from the inside.

I don’t like the gringos at all. They are very boring and all have faces like unbaked rolls.

Surrealism is the magical surprise of finding a lion in a wardrobe, where you were 'sure' of finding shirts.
