I count all the time on resonance. I call on this, you see.
Simultaneous contrast is not just a curious optical phenomenon - it is the very heart of painting.
Art is concerned with the HOW and not the WHAT.
And I started with this: I have not painted at all my childhood. In fact, I never painted. But I helped my father who was a house painter and decorative painter. He made stage sets, he made glass paintings, he made everything.
Thus art is not an object, it is an experience.
I prefer to see with closed eyes.
