Everything we see hides another thing, we always want to see what is hidden by what we see. There is an interest in that which is hidden and which the visible does not show us. This interest can take the form of a quite intense feeling, a sort of conflict, one might say, between the visible that is hidden and the visible that is present.

I like subversive humor, freckles, women's knees and long hair, the laughter of playing children, and a girl running down the street.

I think we are responsible for the universe, but that doesn't mean we decide anything.

My painting is visible images that conceal nothing... they evoke mystery. Mystery means nothing. It is unknowable.

My investigations resembled the pursuit of the solution to a problem for which I had three data: the object, the thing connected with it in the shadow of my consciousness, and the light wherein that thing would become apparent.

My painting is visible images which conceal nothing... they evoke mystery and indeed when one sees one of my pictures, one asks oneself this simple question 'What does that mean'? It does not mean anything, because mystery means nothing either, it is unknowable.

The purpose of art is mystery.
