"The artist is the bearer of life."

“About Van Gogh.. a man who is on fire, a torch. His sincerity is absolute. His best painting is the grain field where he kills himself. There we find ourselves at the border of the art of painting. We cannot go further.”

“I need to go towards the illogical. This world we live in destroys us. It is always governed by the same laws. You have to create images that don’t belong to it. That are totally different from those it presents us.”

“Painting, an oeuvre, is not such a big deal, it is so unimportant. But that’s precisely what makes it interesting.”

“The beauty other people create is not for the artists. Artists have to live alone.”

“I am in the void. Nothing to hang on to.”

“The most difficult thing is when you can’t do anything. When you just have to wait.”
