Quote

But surrealism is present in most of my pictures.

Surrealism had a great effect on me because then I realised that the imagery in my mind wasn't insanity. Surrealism to me is reality.

Hyperrealism can create an atmosphere of surrealism because nobody sees the world in such detail.

Surrealism is a bourgeois disaffection; that its militants thought it universal is only one of the signs that it is typically bourgeois.

I guess Surrealism has a draw for me because it's an unknown world. It's a world of subconscious. Some things you can't really get your hands on very easily. Things that are kind of nebulous and they feel like they're not completely formed. You have to feel your way through that.

Surrealism is not a poetry but a poetics, and even more, and more decisively, a world vision.

To be a surrealist means barring from your mind all remembrance of what you have seen, and being always on the lookout for what has never been.

The overintellectualization of surrealism can be a bromide. A dream interpreted is a deflated dream.

It's very hard to say I'm surrealist. It's like saying I'm poetic. It's not something you want necessarily to be aware of.

For me, surrealism is in my blood; it's not an effort.
