The only thing emanating from my pictures should be emotion.
If I don't have red, I use blue.
One starts to get young at the age of sixty and then it is too late.
The hidden harmony is better than the obvious.
To be young, really young, takes a very long time.
God is really only another artist. He invented the giraffe, the elephant and the cat. He has no real style, He just goes on trying other things.
You have to have an idea of what you are going to do, but it should be a vague idea.
We don't grow older, we grow riper.
I begin with an idea and then it becomes something else.
One never knows what one is going to do. One starts a painting and then it becomes something quite different.
An idea is a point of departure and no more. As soon as you elaborate it, it becomes transformed by thought.
I do not seek. I find.
Inspiration exists, but it has to find us working.
There is no abstract art. You must always start with something. Afterward you can remove all traces of reality.
