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

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

A window looks outside, but a painting should do the opposite - it should look inside of us. When I put them in the middle of the room, I attach the paintings at the top to the ceiling and on the bottom to the floor. I prefer this to just hanging them from the ceiling because it creates a place in a space, like a wall.

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

I realized that most people waste their lives earning a living, and I wanted to live. I love painting, so I keep painting. That's how I became an artist.

I never want to stop painting. I'm 94 now. What's my secret? I just keep thinking about the painting I'm going to do tomorrow.

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