I am isolated as an artist, not as a person.
With color one obtains an energy that seems to stem from witchcraft.
I hardly ever stretch the canvas before painting.
There's no possible way you can get what you want.
I've always wanted to be able to paint the dawn.
I paint what I like, when I like and where I like.
West Yorkshire is quite dramatic and beautiful, the crags and things.
I've realized that I can do performances.
Ironically, my paintings don't photograph well.
Raise boys and girls the same way.
I produce a lot of my artwork in Germany.
Now painting is different. It's something recollected in tranquility.
My artwork gets stolen all the time; it's ridiculous.
When I was a child, I used to cry all the time.
I count all the time on resonance. I call on this, you see.
The trouble with being poor is that it takes up all your time.
One always talks of surrendering to nature. There is also such a thing as surrendering to the picture.
Pure drawing is an abstraction. Drawing and colour are not distinct, everything in nature is coloured.
Direct observation of the luminous essence of nature is for me indispensable.
The big artist keeps an eye on nature and steals her tools.
I love Trinidad and I love living there, but it's quite harsh.
