"I only paint the difference between things."

"There are two ways of looking at anything: one is to see it as it is, the other is to see it as it should be."

"The things that are for us, are for us, and the things that are against us, are against us."

"I begin with the sensation of the object, and then I try to capture that sensation on canvas."
