Who sees the human face correctly: the photographer, the mirror, or the painter?
To copy others is necessary, but to copy oneself is pathetic.

Everyone wants to understand art. Why don't we try to understand the song of a bird? Why do we love the night, the flowers, everything around us, without trying to understand them? But in the case of a painting, people think they have to understand.
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.
