Black ink was always my favorite. I loved it. And then one day I realized that the only thing I ever wanted to do was to paint.

I am against limitations like perspective. Perspective is illusion, it's the opposite of presence, and art is presence.

At 16, I decided to do something brave: I went on a prehistoric dig. In fact, I've had my name in a museum since I was 18 years old, not for my painting but for the prehistoric objects I found. That's how I started thinking about art.

Black ink was always my favorite. I loved it. And then one day I realized that the only thing I ever wanted to do was to paint.

I always liked paintings to be walls rather than windows. When we see a painting on a wall, it's a window, so I often put my paintings in the middle of the space to make a wall.

It's fascinating to think that as soon as man came into existence, he started painting.

Prehistoric art came to move me much more than Greek art. Greek art has beautiful women and handsome men, but I don't care.
