Oil-painting is a developed technique. Why go backwards?

The viewers must come to understand the sacredness of painting, so they will remove their hats as if they were in church.

I sense a scream passing through nature. I painted ... the clouds as actual blood. The colour shrieked.

If what you want to paint is the emotive mood in all its strength... then you must not sit and stare at everything and depict it exactly as one sees it.

At different moments you see with different eyes. You see differently in the morning than you do in the evening. In addition, how you see is also dependent on your emotional state. Because of this, a motif can be seen in many different ways, and this is what makes art interesting.

I find it difficult to imagine an afterlife, such as Christians, or at any rate many religious people, conceive it, believing that the conversations with relatives and friends interrupted here on earth will be continued in the hereafter.

I don’t believe in an art that is not born out of man’s need to open his heart.
