"Painting completed my life."

"I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim."

"I am not afraid of death because I have already died many times."

"I do not know whether my paintings are surrealist or not, but I do know that they are the most frank expression of myself."

"I tried to drown my sorrows, but the bastards learned how to swim."
