There was very little art in my childhood.

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.

I love drawings, so I've always enjoyed making drawings that exist on their own.

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

I think a painting should include more experience than simply intended statement.

In the place where I was a child, there were no artists and there was no art, so I really didn't know what that meant. I think I thought it meant that I would be in a situation different than the one that I was in.

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.
