I don't want to look exactly the same in everything I do. And if I'm not identifiable, then that can be a blessing or a curse. But I'm fine with it. Because at the end of the day, I'm still working, and I'm enjoying what I do.

Identity for me is something that has to be played with and explored, and not become complacent about or uninterested in.

I think I'd say that my whole body of work is a reflection of who I am, but not any one specific thing.

Egotism: The art of seeing in yourself what others cannot see.

Possibly because I grew up not feeling very confident about my own physical appearance, I developed internal devices so that I could integrate into society.

Throughout my life, I have grappled with my own identity, who I am. As a young child, I often felt ambivalent about myself, in fact, confused.

All discomfort comes from suppressing your true identity.

It is not sufficient to see and to know the beauty of a work. We must feel and be affected by it.

The perception of identity is so intimately bound up with the perception of the human form.

I know now that most people are so closely concerned with themselves that they are not aware of their own individuality, I can see myself, and it has helped me to say what I want to say in paint.
