The Portrait Is One Of The Most

Color Exists In Itself, Possessing Its Own Beauty.

It Has Bothered Me All My Life That I Do Not Paint Like Everybody Else.

Slowly I Discovered The Secret Of My Art. It Consists Of A Meditation On Nature, On The Expression Of A Dream Which Is Always Inspired By Reality. With More Involvement And Regularity, I Learned To Push Each Study In A Certain Direction. Little By Little The Notion That Painting Is A Means Of Expression Asserted Itself, And That One Can Express The Same Thing In Several Ways. Exactitude Is Not Truth, Delacroix Liked To Say.

If It Is Practiced By A Man Of Taste, The Photograph Will Have The Appearance Of Art (but) The Photographer Must...intervene As Little As Possible, So As Not To Lose The Objective Charm Which It Naturally Possesses.

The Essential Thing Is To Work In A State Of Mind That Approaches Prayer.
