I do not paint a portrait to look like the subject, rather does the person grow to look like his portrait.

Sometimes I spit on my mother's portrait for pleasure.
Salvador Dali

The famous soft watches are nothing else than the tender, extravagant, solitary, paranoic-critical camembert oftime and space.
