This is a portrait of Iris Clert if I say so.

Very quickly a painting is turned into a facsimile of itself when one becomes so familiar with with it that one recognizes it without looking at it.

I still have a struggle reading (dyslexia, fh) and so I don't read much.. ..Probably the only reason I'm painter is because I couldn't read yet I love to write, but when I write I know what I'm writing, but when I'm reading I can't see it, because it goes from all sides of the page at once. But that's very good for printmaking.

With me, it's much more a matter of accepting whatever happens, accepting all these elements from the outside and then trying to work with them in a sort of free collaboration.

You begin with the possibilities of the material.

Work is my joy... Work is my therapy, I don't know anybody who loves work as much as I do.

You have to have the time to feel sorry for yourself in order to be a good abstract expressionist.
