"My painting carries with it the message of pain."

"I tried to drown my sorrows, but the bastards learned how to swim, and now I am overwhelmed by this decent and good feeling."

"I love you more than my own skin."

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

"Painting completed my life."

"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."

"I never paint dreams or nightmares. I paint my own reality."

"I paint my own reality. 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."

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

"I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone, because I am the person I know best."
