How do you know when you're finished making love?

On the floor I am more at ease. I feel nearer, more part of the painting, since this way I can walk around it, work from the four sides and literally be in the painting.

Today painters do not have to go to a subject matter outside of themselves. Most modern painters work from a different source. They work from within.

A method of painting is a natural growth out of a need. I want to express my feelings rather than illustrate them. Technique is just a means of arriving at a statement.

The process is only a means to an end-creating the painting I want. It doesn't mean anything itself. It's only a way of creating a result.

I do not paint nature. I am nature.

The modern artist... is working and expressing an inner world - in other words - expressing the energy, the motion, and other inner forces.
