I spend much more time looking at art history and at different references to art than I do at actual objects.

I learned a lot about the images of pornography and how much they dealt with close-up, when a person is at their most vulnerable and having to reveal details about themselves. I wanted to combine the eternal in two different manners. There is the biological eternal - here is our species reproducing - and then the transparent, spiritual aspect of it.

When people make judgments they close all the possibility around them.

Art is obsolete now. New technologies are taking over.

If I physically made every work myself, I would get only one or two paintings done a year, if that.

Art is about profundity. It's about connecting to everything that it means to be alive, but you have to act.

A lot of my work is about sales. And it was about being independent from the art market.
