"I am working on the same problems that I have always worked on."

"Why should I be like a rag-picker in society?"

"It has bothered me all my life that I do not paint like everybody else."

"I want to create an art that is pure and serene, without any disturbing or troubling subject matter."

"When I put a green, it does not mean that it is grass; when I put a blue, it does not mean that it is sky."
