The most important thing for everyone in Gringolandia is to have ambition and become 'somebody,' and frankly, I don't have the least ambition to become anybody.

I paint flowers so they will not die.

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 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?

I am my own muse. I am the subject I know best. The subject I want to better.
