The artist begins with a vision - a creative operation requiring effort. Creativity takes courage.
Work cures everything.
Art is an escape from reality.
After a half-century of hard work and reflection the wall is still there.
There's nothing clinically wrong with me, only an emotional imbalance - I pass too quickly from the wildest enthusiasm to the blackest despair.
In art, truth and reality begin when one no longer understands what one is doing or what one knows, and when there remains an energy that is all the stronger for being constrained, controlled and compressed.
