The only thing I know is that I paint because I need to, and I paint whatever passes through my head without any other consideration.
To paint is the most terrific thing that there is, but to do it well is very difficult.
My toys were those of a boy: skates, bicycles.
Really, I do not know whether my paintings are surrealist or not, but I do know that they are the frankest expression of myself.
They thought I was a Surrealist, but I wasn't. I never painted dreams. I painted my own reality.
I leave you my portrait so that you will have my presence all the days and nights that I am away from you.
