Art is coming face to face with yourself.

Technique is just a means of arriving at a statement.

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.

I've been thinking of death a lot, and I am amazed by its inevitability, frightened, as we all are, of the totally unknown, and yet feel a long sleep is somehow earned by those of us who live on the edge.

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

Every good painter paints what he is.

I don't paint nature. I am nature.
