I have never had a studio, and I do not understand shutting oneself up in a room. To draw, yes; to paint, no.

I would like to paint the way a bird sings.

I would advise young artists . . . to paint as they can, as long as they can, without being afraid of painting badly . . . . If their painting doesn't improve by itself, it means that nothing can be done - and I wouldn't do anything!

I wear myself out and struggle with the sun. And what a sun here! It would be necessary to paint here with gold and gemstones. It is wonderful.

Everyone discusses my art and pretends to understand, as if it were necessary to understand, when it is simply necessary to love.
