All art is contemporary, if it's alive, and if it's not alive, what's the point of it?

As for the world of fashion and celebrity, I have the usual interest in the human comedy, but the problems of depiction absorb me more.

I'm not going to stop painting just to take orders.

Water in swimming pools changes its look more than in any other form its colour can be man-made and its dancing rhythms reflect not only the sky but, because of its transparency, the depth of the water as well. If the water surface is almost still and there is a strong sun, then dancing lines with the colours of the spectrum appear everywhere.

If you see the world as beautiful, thrilling and mysterious, as I think I do, then you feel quite alive.

All painters are interested in photography to a certain extent.

Photography sees surfaces, it doesn't see space. We see space but the camera doesn't.
