Quote

Painting is the passage from the chaos of the emotions to the order of the possible.

After my divorce, painting took me out of panic mode and into a serene, calm place. I could absolutely lose myself.

Now painting is different. It's something recollected in tranquility.

Painting is a source of endless pleasure, but also of great anguish.

Painting seems like some kind of peculiar miracle that I need to have again and again.

For me, painting is a way to forget life. It is a cry in the night, a strangled laugh.

In the end, the gesture of painting becomes almost meditative, like a ritual.

Painting, for me, is a dynamic balance and wholeness of life; it is mysterious and transcending, yet solid and real.

Art is the triumph over chaos.

Painting completed my life.
