When an artist stopped being a child, he would stop being an artist.

Art should become as one with its surroundings.

In my work, I wanted something irreducible, an absence of the gimmicky and clever.

Brancusi made me realize that what I had learned previously — the quick ways of doing things — was all wrong... It is not the quick solutions. It is not something you learn and apply. After all, it is a search you have to enter into yourself.

We are a landscape of all we have seen.

It is said that stone is the affection of old men. That may be so. It is the most challenging to work. A dialogue ensues – of chance no chance, mistakes no mistakes. No erasing or reproduction is possible, at least in the way I work, leaving nature’s mark. It is unique and final.

It is weight that gives meaning to weightlessness.
