I don't paint, I hit.

You have to learn it all, then forget it and start again like a child. This is the inner evolution.

The duty of the artist is not to be calculating in any sense, so that he may be free himself of human emotions while carried by the universal forces of life. Only then does one not think about making art, or about styles, or directions. Something comes about, something happens.

If I paint like a barbarian, it's because we live in a barbarous age

I don't paint, I hit.

Every day I have to be awake to escape.. ..The whole world is sleepy. It is a real fight to be awake, to see everything new, for the first time in your life.

As an artist you have to fight and survive the wilderness to keep your creative freedom. Creativity is very fragile.
