"I've been forty years discovering that the queen of all colors is black."
"I have always been aware of the relation between the color and the line, and that the two must be used with precision."
"The artist must have a clear vision of what he wants to do."
"When you are painting, you must forget everything else, and just think of the picture."
"Painting is not for me a matter of reproducing reality, but of transcribing my emotion."
