“Color is my daylong obsession, joy, and torment.”

“My garden is my most beautiful masterpiece”

“The richness I achieve comes from nature, the source of my inspiration. ”

“Everyone discusses my art and pretends to understand, as if it were necessary to understand, when it is simply necessary to love.”

“Every day I discover more and more beautiful things. It’s enough to drive one mad. I have such a desire to do everything,my head is bursting with it.”

“It's on the strength of observation and reflection that one finds a way. So we must dig and delve unceasingly.”

“I must have flowers, always, and always.”
