My experience with life is that it's very fragmented. In one place certain kinds of thing occur, and in another place a different kind of thing occurs. I would like my work to have some vivid indication of those differences. I guess, in painting, it would amount to different kinds of space being represented in it.

A picture ought to be looked at the same way you look at a radiator.

I often find that having an idea in my head prevents me from doing something else. Working is therefore a way of getting rid of an idea.

Sometimes I see it and then paint it. Other times I paint it and then see it. Both are impure situations, and I prefer neither. At every point in nature there is something to see. My work contains similar possibilities for the changing focus of the eye.

Everybody is of course free to interpret the work in his own way. I think seeing a picture is one thing and interpreting it is another.

Intention involves such a small fragment of our consciousness and of our mind and of our life.

One works without thinking how to work.
