All art is exorcism. I paint dreams and visions too; the dreams and visions of my time. Painting is the effort to produce order; order in yourself. There is much chaos in me, much chaos in our time.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Painting, for me, is a dynamic balance and wholeness of life; it is mysterious and transcending, yet solid and real.
I think there is a hunger for things that wake you up, something that makes you peel back your eyes, that reminds you that you are alive. Art is at its best when it is in the 'now.'
Painting is the passage from the chaos of the emotions to the order of the possible.
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.
I dream a lot. I do more painting when I'm not painting. It's in the subconscious.
I think art, at its best, happens on a conscious and a subconscious level.
I never paint dreams or nightmares. I paint my own reality.
Art is an expression of who we are, what we believe, and what we dream about.
Art is life's dream interpretation.
I think it's the pain and suffering that drive you to become an artist. The art itself should be the pain, sort of exorcising every demon and making you feel like you're a person that matters.
