The process is only a means to an end-creating the painting I want. It doesn't mean anything itself. It's only a way of creating a result.

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.

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

On the floor I am more at ease.

Love is friendship set to music.

When I am in a painting, I'm not aware of what I'm doing. It is only after a sort of 'get acquainted' period that I see what I have been about. I have no fears about making changes, destroying the image, etc, because the painting has a life of its own. I try to let it come through. 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.
