Quotes[edit]

"I refuse to analyze my painting. I cannot paint if I think. I cannot preconceive a painting. I cannot paint. I only know by intensities. Passion is the source of understanding. I absorbe the world around me like a sponge--light, passions, personalities, smells. Before I can paint, I must empty myself totally, not thinking or imagining so that I can be used as an instrument, a channel. The purpose of my work is love."^[1]
