I use printers to make prints of the images that I am creating. And I try to have that surface kind of replicated in the painting.

The job of the artist is to make a gesture and really show people what their potential is. It's not about the object, and it's not about the image; it's about the viewer. That's where the art happens.

My favorite activity is to be with my family.

Art is something that happens inside us. We look at things in the world, and we become excited by them. We understand our own possibilities of becoming. And that's what art is.

Whenever you finish an artwork and the viewer comes and views it, at that moment you've given up control.

As an artist, I've always wanted to participate in the dialogue of art with other artists.

I don't like being naïve about the market, and I always try to make things as great as I can. Then I hope that there's an audience that enjoys them, and that hopefully those things get protected.
