I'm not so facile that I can accomplish or find out what I want to know or explore enough of the possibilities and a way of making a painting, say, in just one painting or two paintings.

I'm not a very good painter, but I'm learning a lot.

My first concern was to take care of my drawing. I did not have any knowledge in arts, especially Haitian arts, apart from the paintings I saw in my father's office.

I've always been a creative person, and I'd always wanted to paint, so I went to art school and began painting and sculpting.

Instead of art I have taught philosophy. Though technique for me is a big word, I never have taught how to paint. All my doing was to make people to see.

I kind of do the drawing with the painting in mind, but it's very hard to guess at a size or a color and all the colors around it and what it will really look like.

I enjoyed art in school. I've always done little drawings and stuff like that. I don't really know what I'm doing with the painting, but I experiment.

I have not written in vain if I have heretofore done anything towards diminishing the reputation of the Renaissance landscape painting.

I don't paint. I am a hobbyist photographer, so I relate to the visual arts that way, but I'm not a painter.

Painting is easy when you don't know how, but very difficult when you do.
