An audience is perhaps unnecessary to the soul-searching mystic, but it is vital to the magician, the maker of prodigies.

My themes are derived from current events, from familiar situations, from daily life, because I never actively intervene against the object, I can feel the magic of its presence.

I was born knowing that I had to be a painter, because my father, an art historian, always presented painting as the only acceptable thing in life.

I never lost the taste and craft of the Renaissance.

Only thanks to Pop Art, my painting has become understandable.

My life provides me with these images that become expressions of my daily experience.

For many years it was difficult for me to paint because I didn't feel the informal painting that was then tyrannically dominating painters and art collectors.
