Every child has the spirit of creation. The rubbish of life often exterminates the spirit through plague and a souls own wretchedness..

White is poison to a picture: use it only in highlights..

I paint a woman's big rounded buttocks so that I want to reach out and stroke the dimpled flesh..

My passion comes from the heavens, not from earthly musings.

My talent is such that no undertaking, however vast in size... has ever surpassed my courage..

Painting a young maiden is similar to cavorting with great abandon. It is the finest refreshment..

I'm just a simple man standing alone with my old brushes, asking God for inspiration..
