I just happen to like ordinary things. When I paint them, I don't try to make them extraordinary. I just try to paint them ordinary-ordinary.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I paint people not because of what they are like, not exactly in spite of what they are like, but how they happen to be.
Everything has the potential to be extraordinary, whether an old photograph, a book or a life. If you find it ordinary, you simply need to take a closer look.
I don't work at being ordinary.
The more I paint the more I like everything.
I don't paint things. I only paint the difference between things.
Even ordinary people aren't ordinary, not really. They're filled up with thoughts and feelings that you might never know are there until they suddenly materialise.
You can't always do the extraordinary, in between you have to do the ordinary. Because if you didn't, what would constitute the extraordinary?
I always feel the desire to look for the extraordinary in ordinary things; to suggest, not to impose, to leave always a slight touch of mystery in my paintings.
I love to take something ordinary and make it really special.
I paint objects as I think them, not as I see them.
