Author of quotes: Claude Monet

What makes my heart beat is colorful silence.

I fill my heart with silence - many flowers are hidden in it.

When it's dark, I feel like I'm dying, I can't think.

Try to forget that you see before you, a tree, house, field, whatever. Just think that in this place the small blue square, there is an oblong pink shape, and continue until, until you appear naive impressions of the painting, which is in front of your eyes.

Colors haunt me. They even bother me in my sleep.

A good impression is lost so quickly.

The first layer of paint should cover as much of the canvas no matter how roughly it will be done.

My work is always better when I'm alone and follow my own impressions.

I know that to paint the sea really well, you have to look at it every hour of every day in the same place, so you can understand how you have to work at this particular place and this is why I'm working on the same stories again and again and again, four or even six times.

I tried to do the impossible - to paint light itself.
