Color is whatever comes out of the material and keeps it what it is.
I'm not afraid of color. I like color.
I love paint. I like watercolours. I like acrylic paint... a little bit. I like house paint. I like oil-based paint, and I love oil paint. I love the smell of turpentine and I like that world of oil paint very, very, very much.

I always have lipstick, and use the same lipstick for my cheeks as blush, so that it looks very natural. It's a good trick I learned from my mother. I like NYX or MAC because they have a lot of pigment and they're matte.
I like a canvas to breathe and be alive. Be alive is the point. And, as the limitations are something called pigment and canvas, let's see if I can do it.
Color is my day-long obsession, joy and torment.
Green, red, and mixed shades of haemins are known. If magnesium is replaced by iron in chlorophyll, green haemins are obtained. Their colour is due to a strong band in the red which is already recognized in chlorophyll.
The substance of painting is light.
The colors live a remarkable life of their own after they have been applied to the canvas.
Death is pitch-dark, but colors are light. To be a painter, one must work with rays of light.
Color can do anything that black-and-white can.
I prefer living in color.
