Painting is seen as picture making, the making of an art object, something that can stand on its own.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A painting is finished when the subject comes back, when what has caused the painting to be made comes back as an object.
Painting, for me, is a dynamic balance and wholeness of life; it is mysterious and transcending, yet solid and real.
To be an artist is not a matter of making paintings or objects at all. What we are really dealing with is our state of consciousness and the shape of our perceptions.
Painting is a coalescing of experience.
I mean, making art is about objectifying your experience of the world, transforming the flow of moments into something visual, or textual, or musical, whatever. Art creates a kind of commentary.
Painting is the aesthetic side of the object but it has never been original, has never been its own goal.
A painting has a lot of advantages over other forms of communication. Unlike a movie, you don't have to put it into a machine and turn it on. It's just there every day. It's not limited by the element of time. It's a constant part of the home.
Painting is an essentially concrete art and can only consist of the representation of real and existing things.
What is art but a way of seeing?
Painting is an illusion, a piece of magic, so what you see is not what you see.
