“… an artist is no different than any other man, incomprehensible and suspicious. A painter is only an intermediary, an individual who taps into something of the hidden, precious truth beyond himself. Then, within the innermost depths of his soul, he focuses its being and becoming in an image to be observed. In these two acts of focusing and observing lies the relationship between he who creates and he who enjoys what has been created, between the artist and the society in which he lives.”
“These pages will be written as nonconceptual pages, it will impossible to look at or read them – the words written upon them are born spontaneously, and thus also the marks and scratches that clot around them. They will be written with an alphabet yet to be invented.”
