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

If painting doesn't offer a way to dream and create emotions, then it's not worth it.

I always loved to paint. As a kid, I liked to dip my paintbrush in black ink. They gave colors to me to use, but I didn't like them very much.

Painting isn't just pretty or pleasant; it is something that helps you to stand alone and face yourself.

I've always loved black, and I realized that, from the beginning, man went into completely dark caves to paint. They painted with black too. They could have painted with white because there were white stones all over the ground, but no, they chose to paint with black in the dark.

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

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.
