This idea of art for art's sake is a hoax.

For a long time I limited myself to one colour - as a form of discipline.

Image
Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist while still achieving milestones and outcomes as required by certain funders and policy-makers.
Pablo Picasso
Image
What I capture in spite of myself interests me more than my own ideas.
Pablo Picasso
Image
When you start with a portrait and try to find pure form by abstracting more and more, you must end up with an egg.
Pablo Picasso

Disciples be damned. It's not interesting. It's only the masters that matter. Those who create.

Drink to me. Drink to my health. You know I can't drink any more.

Style is often something which locks the painter into the same vision, the same technique, the same formula during years and years, sometimes during one's whole lifetime.
