Painting is a very difficult thing. It absorbs the whole man, body and soul, thus have I passed blindly many things which belong to real and political life.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Painting, for me, is a dynamic balance and wholeness of life; it is mysterious and transcending, yet solid and real.
See, when I paint, it is an experience that, at its best, is transcending reality.
I'm still very sure that painting is one of the most basic human capacities, like dancing and singing, that make sense, that stay with us, as something human.
Painting is not what my life is about, but it is very important to me, and I am very lucky to be able to give some time to it.
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.
A painting is like a man. If you can live without it, then there isn't much point in having it.
Painting is, I think, inevitably an archaic activity and one that depends on spiritual values.
Painting is damned difficult - you always think you've got it, but you haven't.
One must act in painting as in life, directly.
I believe the reason I love painting so much is that it forces one to be objective.
