I put on the canvas whatever comes into my mind.

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.

Since my subjects have always been my sensations, my states of mind and the profound reactions that life has been producing in me, I have frequently objectified all this in figures of myself, which were the most sincere and real thing that I could do in order to express what I felt inside and outside of myself.

I paint flowers so they will not die.

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

Feet, what do I need you for when I have wings to fly?
