Every painting I do blends time frames. The great thing about being an artist is I can make the past join the present in some reality of the future.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Some people would say my paintings show a future world and maybe they do, but I paint from reality. I put several things and ideas together, and perhaps, when I have finished, it could show the future.
Painting becomes interesting when it becomes timeless.
In the experience of art, time seems not to exist.
I think one's history and past is important at a certain time in your life, especially as an artist, just to try to hone in on that.
Artists today think of everything they do as a work of art. It is important to forget about what you are doing - then a work of art may happen.
In my previous life, I was an artist. I still paint. I love art.
Painting is not what my life is about, but it is very important to me, and I am very lucky to be able to give some time to it.
With photography, you've captured a moment time - it's that moment only - and in painting, you play with it; you manipulate how time is presented. It's about fantasy and illusion and the creation of desire.
I've been asked to do a retrospective since I was about 28 and I always thought that was a bit odd. It's great to look forward as an artist because in the future the possibilities are infinite; you look back and it's all fixed so it's a scary thing.
Every work of art belongs to his time. I would not paint again the Mona Lisa in the third dimension.
