every good artist paints what he is
I do not judge, I only chronicle.
An artist's career always begins tomorrow.
Sometimes when you're drunk you can see better.
You need a big ego to be an artist.
Artists are like everybody else.
I'm fed up with being bossed around.
I'm not antisocial. I like people.
I'm a bit claustrophobic, I know that now.
Easel painting means small painting.
I wanted to be an abstract painter, but I was rotten at it.
Protect me from what I want.
Whatever I do seems artificial and false, to me.
Take an object. Do something to it. Do something else to it.
Sloppy thinking gets worse over time.
I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers.
To me, the world's rather beautiful if you look at it. Especially nature.
I'm constantly investigating nature - nature, meaning everything.
There are no lines in nature, only areas of colour, one against another.
In nature, light creates the color. In the picture, color creates the light.
There are always flowers for those who want to see them.
