“My garden is my most beautiful masterpiece”

“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.”

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

“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.”

“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.”
