The art world, of all worlds, has room for everyone.

It's important for me to give each thing the possibility to speak and also to allow artworks speak to each other.

You can't force yourself to be something you are not.

In the studio, it took me a long time to work out how to make paintings that had the intensity that I was able to create by painting whole rooms. There is a very limited number of colours but there are many variations. I decided to use the purest palette that I could.

All the basic information should be in the object itself.

[I] don't want people to see it [paintings] as a specific intention on my part. If somebody has that interest in these objects, of course they can see that, but from my own point of view, I'd rather stay as neutral as possible.

If I did not love the things that I do, how could I spend my life doing this? You have to invest what you spend your life doing with pleasure.
