In nature, light creates the color. In the picture, color creates the light.

The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak.

Art is to me the glorification of the human spirit, and as such it is the cultural documentation of the time in which it is produced.

Our entire being is nourished by color.

It is not the form that dictates the color, but the color that brings out the form.

A work of art is a world in itself reflecting senses and emotions of the artist's world.

Colors must fit together as pieces in a puzzle or cogs in a wheel.

Painters must speak through paint, not through words.

Art is the expression of the artist´s overflowing soul.

Art is something absolute, something positive, which gives power just as food gives power. While creative science is a mental food, art is the satisfaction of the soul.

My aim in painting is to create pulsating, luminous, and open surfaces that emanate a mystic light, in accordance with my deepest insight into the experience of life and nature.

I hate you. I love you. But I am free.

Death is only a translation of life into another language.

When journalism is silenced, literature must speak. Because while journalism speaks with facts, literature speaks with truth.

I sang everything - R&B slow jams, Spanish slow jams, romantic reggaeton - and I really didn't care which I got signed for.

For me, the more I live, the more I need to write. The more I push myself to really live and really experience things and step outside of my comfort zone, the more the songs are allowed to flow.

When one is young, one venerates and despises without that art of nuances which constitutes the best gain of life.

California, in a sense, is almost Starbucks' largest country, with almost 3,000 stores.

Life can change in an instant; don't be so worried about the future that you forget to celebrate what you have right now.

The moment that you accept life and your life as it is, is the moment that you will start to change your life and this magical life itself.

You can always spot the pioneers by the arrows in their backs.
