I believe in the invisible. I do not believe in the definitive reality of things around us. For me, reality is the intuition and the imagination and the quiet voice inside my head that says: isn't that extraordinary? The things in our lives are the shadows of reality, just as we ourselves are shadows.

I write in order to express what the photo itself cannot say. A photograph of my father doesn't tell me what I thought of him, which for me is much more important than what the man looked like.

Usually when painters use photographs, they enlarge and copy them and simply make a large, boring painting of a large, boring photograph.

To fulfil a fantasy is the quickest way to destroy it.

In the West, people tend to look at life as spectators, but in the East, people are the thing.
