I am interested in reconstructing symbols. It's about connecting with an older knowledge and trying to discover continuities in why we search for heaven.

I believe art has to take responsibility but it should not give up being art.

When I see a new artist I give myself a lot of time to reflect and decide whether it's art or not.

But I believe above all that I wanted to build the palace of my memory, because my memory is my only homeland.

Not content, but the road the artist takes, is the interesting part.

As a child I had no toys; our house was bombed, but there were lots of bricks. Ruins are wonderful because they are the beginning of something new, you can do something with them.

Art is longing. You never arrive, but you keep going in the hope that you will.
