“When the mixture is still fresh, I put the colour, and the colour is absorbed, and thus the thickness becomes all colourful. But the colour is not real.
The colour is returned. Through the amount of white that I put in the mixture. So red turns pink, white stays white, black turns grey, even green drops of tone. Then, when the mixture is dry, I go over it with sandpaper. I am very interested in this tactile relationship with the surface. The surface is no more just colour, but a things of dust... this colour that does not exist, but comes out through the dust. In fact, if you touch the painting, fingerprints are left on the hand.“
