The Works Must Be Conceived With Fire

Painting Must Be Fertile. It Must Give Birth To A World.. ..it Must Fertilize The Imagination.

I Try To Apply Colors Like Words That Shape Poems, Like Notes That Shape Music.

I Begin My Pictures Under The Effect Of A Shock Which I Feel And Which Makes Me Escape From Reality... I Need A Point Of Departure, Even If It's Only A Speck Of Dust Or A Flash Of Light.

When I Stand Before A Canvas, I Never Know What I'll Do, And I Am The First One Surprised At What Comes Out.

My Characters Have Undergone The Same Process Of Simplification As The Colors. Now That They Have Been Simplified, They Appear More Human And Alive Than If They Had Been Represented In All Their Details.
