I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers.

I am following Nature without being able to grasp her, I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers.

My wish is to stay always like this, living quietly in a corner of nature.

People discuss my art and pretend to understand as if it were necessary to understand, when it's simply necessary to love.
