Every act of creation is first and foremost an act of destruction.
An artist is a man who paints what he sells. A painter, on the other hand, is a man who sells what he paints.
Art is not reality; it is a lie that makes us become aware of reality, at least of a reality that we are capable of comprehending.
The path of youth takes a whole lifetime.
When they tell me I am too old to do something, I try to do it right away.
I don't say everything, but I paint everything.
It takes time to become young.
The quality of a painter depends on the amount of past they carry with them.
Even if there were only one single truth, one couldn't paint a hundred paintings on the same subject.
Painting is stronger than me, it always manages to make me do what it wants.
I don't seek, I find.
