All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.

Youth has no age.

Painting is just another way of keeping a diary.

I paint objects as I think them, not as I see them.

Why do two colors, put one next to the other, sing? Can one really explain this? no. Just as one can never learn how to paint.

Others have seen what is and asked why. I have seen what could be and asked why not.

My mother said to me, "If you are a soldier, you will become a general. If you are a monk, you will become the Pope." Instead, I was a painter, and became Picasso.

Computers are useless. They can only give you answers.

The artist is a receptacle for the emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider's web.
