The more I work, the more I am alone.
The only thing that matters is the silence.
I don't know where I am, but I am here.
The more I try, the more I am silent.
Art is a way of being silent.
The head is the void.

The more I look, the more I am silent.
The only way to see is to be silent.
The more I work, the more I want to work.
All molds are broken when I start working.
I work like a miner in a tunnel, without knowing where I am going.
The human head is the most perfect form there is.
Artistically speaking, I haven't changed at all.
All my life, I have been working on the same sculpture.
I don't know where I am going, but I am on my way.
The important thing is to pull yourself up by your bootstraps.
Sculpture is the art of the hole and the lump.
I am always in search of the image.
