Painting is self-discovery. Every good artist paints what he is.

I continue to get further away from the usual painter's tools such as easel, palette, brushes, etc. I prefer sticks, trowels, knives and dripping fluid paint or a heavy impasto with sand, broken glass or other foreign matter added.

Art is coming face to face with yourself.

Abstract painting is abstract. It confronts you.

I don't work from drawings. I don't make sketches and drawings and color sketches into a final painting.

Modern art to me is nothing more than the expression of contemporary aims of the age that we're living in.

The pictures I contemplate painting would constitute a halfway state and attempt to point out the direction of the future - without arriving there completely
