Remedios Varo

“My main interest has always been in the world of the supernatural.”

“I do not want to speak about myself, for the reason that I am in the process of becoming.”

“I arrived in Mexico seeking the peace I had not found, not in Spain, which was at war, nor in Europe, which was burning... I was not looking for anything but peace.”

“The dream world and the real world are the same.”

“I finally found a way to be able to paint what I wanted, without having to ask anyone for permission.”

“I believe that all artists have a special sensibility and that we are a bit like psychics.”

“I am interested in the moment in which the static is about to become dynamic.”

“I deliberately set out to make a mystical work.”

“My paintings are the most faithful biography of myself.”

“I have always sought to penetrate the other side of things, the one that is not seen.”

“I think that a work of art must be something that enriches the soul, that opens new horizons, that gives wings.”

“I try to use colors that have a symbolic meaning, that evoke a certain atmosphere.”
