Abstract painting is abstract. It confronts you. There was a reviewer a while back who wrote that my pictures didn't have any beginning or any end. He didn't mean it as a compliment, but it was.

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.

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

It doesn't make much difference how the paint is put on as long as something has been said. Technique is just a means of arriving at a statement.

My painting does not come from the easel.

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

My opinion is that new needs need new techniques. And the modern artists have found new ways and new means of making their statements.
