I paint flowers so they will not die.

To paint is the most terrific thing that there is, but to do it well is very difficult.

I never paint dreams or nightmares. I paint my own reality.

I am happy to be alive, as long as I can paint.

The only thing I know is that I paint because I need to, and I paint whatever passes through my head without any other consideration.

I leave you my portrait so that you will have my presence all the days and nights that I am away from you.
