There is no abstract art. You must always start with something. Afterward you can remove all traces of reality.
When you are young and without success, you have only a few friends. Then, later on, when you are rich and famous, you still have a few... if you are lucky.
The only thing emanating from my pictures should be emotion.
I do things I don't know how to do in order to learn how to do them.
I understand my own pictures best six months after I have done them.
Art isn't done to decorate apartments, but to wage war against the enemy.
