"Nature is not only all that is visible to the eye… it also includes the inner pictures of the soul."

"The colours scream. They are the scream itself."

"A picture is just like me; the more you try to understand it, the more it hides from you."

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

"My art is a form of self-portraiture."
