Art is difficult. It's not entertainment. There are only a few people who can say something about art - it's very restricted. When I see a new artist I give myself a lot of time to reflect and decide whether it's art or not. Buying art is not understanding art.

I believe in empty spaces; they're the most wonderful thing.

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

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

History speaks to artists. It changes the artist's thinking and is constantly reshaping it into different and unexpected images.

The book, the idea of a book or the image of a book, is a symbol of learning, of transmitting knowledge.. I make my own books to find my way through the old stories.
