If it [talent] isn’t strong enough to take the gaff of real training, then it’s not worth much.
My struggle is to preserve that abstract flash - like something you caught out of the corner of your eye, but in the picture you can look at it directly.
To be interested solely in technique would be a very superficial thing to me.
It's a moment that I'm after, a fleeting moment, but not a frozen moment.
Believe in yourself and believe in love. Love something.
I think one's art goes as far and as deep as one's love goes. I see no reason for painting but that. If I have anything to offer, it is my emotional contact with the place where I live and the people I do.
