“When I am finishing a picture, I hold some God-made object up to it - a rock, a flower, the branch of a tree or my hand - as a final test. If the painting stands up beside a thing man cannot make, the painting is authentic. If there's a clash between the two, it's bad art.”

“I adore the theater and I am a painter. I think the two are made for a marriage of love. I will give all my soul to prove this once more.”

“Great art picks up where nature ends.”

“I work in whatever medium likes me at the moment.”

“Work isn't to make money you work to justify life. ”

“Only love interests me, and I am only in contact with things that revolve around love.”

“All our interior world is reality - and that perhaps more so than our apparent world.”

“Time is a river without banks.”

“In our life there is a single color as on an artist's palette which provides the meaning of life and art. It is the color of love.”
