More important than a work of art itself is what it will sow. Art can die, a painting can disappear. What counts is the seed.

The works must be conceived with fire in the soul but executed with clinical coolness.

I want to assassinate painting.

Painting must be fertile. It must give birth to a world.. ..it must fertilize the imagination.

For me, a painting must give off sparks. It must dazzle like the beauty of a woman or a poem.

If you have any notion of where you are going, you will never get anywhere.

My characters have undergone the same process of simplification as the colors. Now that they have been simplified, they appear more human and alive than if they had been represented in all their details.
