Technique is just a means of arriving at a statement.

When I am painting I have a general notion as to what I am about. I can control the flow of paint: there is no accident.

Abstract painting is abstract. It confronts you.

Art is coming face to face with yourself.

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

I'm very representational some of the time, and a little all of the time. But when you're painting out of your unconscious, figures are bound to emerge.

Something in me knows where I’m going, and - well, painting is a state of being. ... Painting is self-discovery. Every good artist paints what he is.
