Wherever art appears, life disappears.

The main thing is not to be dead.

Most painting in the European tradition was painting the mask. Modern art rejected all that. Our subject matter was the person behind the mask.

It may be that the deep necessity of art is the examination of individual's and society's self-deception.

Without ethical consciousness, a painter is only a decorator.

One of the most striking aspects of abstract art's appearance is her nakedness, an art stripped bare.

I feel most real to myself in the studio.
