In many ways my paintings are about energy — both in how they are created and the image itself.
It fascinates me to create beautiful paintings with the simplest means.
History is remembered by its art, not its war machines.
I tell young people that the greatest paintings in museums are made with minerals mixed in oil smeared on cloth with the hair from the back of a pig's ear. It's that simple.
I'm always trying to do things that no one has ever seen before.
I was probably born with the ability to draw, but that does not make you an artist.
