Quotes
- “"I have always been interested in how you can depict suffering without being heavy-handed"”
- “"My best works are erotic displays of mental confusions (with intrusions of irrelevant information)"”
- “"I don't go to psychiatrist. I don't go to a gym. I run away from my accountant, I run away from my dentist. They all supposed to help you, but i like to stay in bed where I have a chance to reflect, like Rossellini"”
- “"Painting is a very slow art. It doesn't travel with the speed of a light. That's why dead painters shine so bright"”
- “Painting doesn't freeze time. It circulates and recycles time like a wheel that turns. Those who were first might well be last."”
- “” No painting can exist without the tension of what it figures and what it concretely consists of the pleasure of what it could mean and the pain of what it's not.””
