I Never See A Forest

Art Is Longing. You Never Arrive, But You Keep Going In The Hope That You Will.

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.

What Does The Artist Do? He Draws Connections. He Ties The Invisible Threads Between Things. He Dives Into History, Be It The History Of Mankind, The Geological History Of The Earth Or The Beginning And End Of The Manifest Cosmos.

I Believe Art Has To Take Responsibility But It Should Not Give Up Being Art.

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.
