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.

Painting allows us to live in a more interesting way than we live our everyday lives.

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.

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

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.

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