He drove his kind of realism at me so hard I bounced right into nonobjective painting.

I have no fear of making changes, destroying the image, etc., because the painting has a life of its own.

On the floor I am more at ease.

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.

Every good painter paints what he is.

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

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