I do not paint nature. I am nature.

My paintings do not have a center, but depend on the same amount of interest throughout.

The painter locks himself out of his own studio. And then has to break in like a thief.

I continue to get further away from the usual painter's tools such as easel, palette, brushes, etc.

It is only when I lose contact with the painting that the result is a mess. Otherwise there is pure harmony, an easy give and take, and the painting comes out well.

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

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.
