I may not have a practical mind, but it's very fixated on concrete things. I like detail.

The artist makes things concrete and gives them individuality.

What's nice about concrete is that it looks unfinished.

The level of detail and craft is something that's inscribed within the original design concept. And so when I begin to draw, I know what kind of detailing I want the building to have.

We call those works of art concrete that came into being on the basis of their inherent resources and rules - without external borrowing from natural phenomena, without transforming those phenomena, in other words: not by abstraction.

This isn't a watercolor, it's a mural.

In abstract painting, I worried about the limited range of possibilities that, as time went on, became increasingly important to me. I wanted to express or deal with differences that an all-over paint and canvas 'presence' neutralized.

The artistic capability of reinforced concrete is so fantastic - that is the way to go.

I don't plot with huge detail, just big moments and important elements, and then I have a structure but can fly by the seat of my pants when I write.
