I Have A Timetable, But

Full, Saturated Colours Have An Emotional Significance I Want To Avoid.

I've Always Wanted To Create Drama In My Pictures, Which Is Why I Paint People. It's People Who Have Brought Drama To Pictures From The Beginning. The Simplest Human Gestures Tell Stories.

Were It Not For This [dissatisfaction], The Perfect Painting Might Be Painted, On The Completion Of Which The Painter Could Retire. It Is This Great Insufficiency That Drives Him On. The Process Of Creation Becomes Necessary To The Painter Perhaps More Than It Is In The Picture. The Process Is In Fact Habit-forming.

The Paintings That Really Excite Me Have An Erotic Element Or Side To Them Irrespective Of Subject Matter

The Aura Given Out By A Person Or Object Is As Much A Part Of Them As Their Flesh.
