I want to reach that condensation of sensations that constitutes a picture.

It has bothered me all my life that I do not paint like everybody else.

I was driven on by.. A force which I see today as something alien to my normal life... so I have been no more than a medium as it were.

I am unable to make any distinction between the feeling I get from life and the way I translate that feeling into painting.

The living model, the naked body of a woman, is the privileged seat of feeling, but also of questioning... The model must mark you, awaken in you an emotion which you seek in turn to express.

What I am after, above all, is expression.

Creative people are curious, flexible, and independent with a tremendous spirit and a love of play.
