I Never See A Forest

I Grew Up In A Forest. It's Like A Room. It's Protected. Like A Cathedral... It Is A Place Between Heaven And Earth.

As An Artist You Have To Find Something That Deeply Interests You. It's Not Enough To Make Art That Is About Art, To Look At Matisse And Picasso And Say, How Can I Paint Like Them? You Have To Be Obsessed By Something That Can't Come Out In Any Other Way, Then The Other Things - The Skill And Technique - Will Follow.

Art Is Difficult. It's Not Entertainment. There Are Only A Few People Who Can Say Something About Art - It's Very Restricted. When I See A New Artist I Give Myself A Lot Of Time To Reflect And Decide Whether It's Art Or Not. Buying Art Is Not Understanding Art.

Art Maybe The Only Space Where An Indvidual Can Be Utterly Free To Question Himself, As Well As His Relationship To His God

If I Do Something That Depresses, It's Not Because I'm Depressed, But Because Political Life And History Is Depressing.
