There was very little art in my childhood.

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-not-complete-unit, or a new unit. The elements in the 3 parts should neither fit nor not fit together. One would like not to be led. Avoid the idea of a puzzle which could be solved. Remove the signs of "thought." It is not "thought" which needs showing.

To be an artist you have to give up everything, including the desire to be a good artist.

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.

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

There may or may not be an idea, and the meaning may just be that the painting exists.
