I never want to speak of or draw a subject that I don’t know anything about. The thing I know most about is my limits.
When one reads, one creates an image or concept from a word or an accumulation of words (is a concept already an image?); he who writes the words has a particular image or concept; he who describes an image with words (that he just drew), has a concept of how he would draw the image.
