Quote

I choose color on the spur of the moment. People ask me why I paint in red. I do not have the slightest idea. I was painting in blue, then I had a need to paint in red. To be able to interact with the medium, this is the key. There are no sure ways to do art.

Just listening carefully to what the musicians are really doing, putting the music in the right time... I became aware of the degree to which time, and therefore duration, was important in music and in art. It had a direct influence on my painting.

Seeing is looking at something in saturation. But we tend to look at something for, say, 1/30 of a second.

The question of painting is bound up with epistemology, with the engagement of the viewer, with what the viewer may learn.
