One must act in painting as in life, directly.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Life obliges me to do something, so I paint.
Art is the proper task of life.
Paintings have a life of their own that derives from the painter's soul.
Sometimes art imitates life.
Painting is a coalescing of experience.
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.
Art is not living. It is the use of living.
When you're an actor or any kind of artist, you use your life as something to draw from in every experience.
Painting, for me, is a dynamic balance and wholeness of life; it is mysterious and transcending, yet solid and real.
You care enough, that you want your life to be fulfilled in a living way, not in a painting way, not in a writing way... you really do want it to be involving in living, corresponding with other living objects, moving, changing, that kind of thing.
