"I would like to find a man who knows how to make a woman more beautiful."

"And not everyone can declare like Correggio, 'Anch'io son pittore' (I too am a painter)."

"I've been forty years discovering that the queen of all colors is black."

"When I put a green, it does not mean that it is grass; when I put a blue, it does not mean that it is sky."

"I want to create an art that is pure and serene, without any disturbing or troubling subject matter."
