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.

For me, it's important to experience aesthetic shock, which sets in motion our imagination, our emotions, our feelings, and our thoughts. That's the purpose of a painting and of art in general.

Painting is a play of opacities and transparencies.

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