"Quando uso il rosa penso all'incarnato, un colore che è sempre mobile, che non trova mai la sua fissità, perché vive tutti gli umori della tua condizione di vita spirituale, di intelligenza. L'incarnato si modifica continuamente. Non è un vero colore."

"When I use the pink, I think of the incarnate, a color that is always in movement, that never finds its fixity, because it lives all the moods of your spiritual condition, of your intelligence. The incarnate is constantly changing. It is no true color. "
