What Do I Ask Of A Painting?

The Only Secret I Can Claim To Have Is Concentration, And That's Something That Can't Be Taught.

The Longer You Look At An Object, The More Abstract It Becomes, And, Ironically, The More Real.

My Work Is Purely Autobiographical... It Is About Myself And My Surroundings.

The Aura Given Out By A Person Or Object Is As Much A Part Of Them As Their Flesh. The Effect That They Make In Space Is As Bound Up With Them As Might Be Their Colour Or Smell ... Therefore The Painter Must Be As Concerned With The Air Surrounding His Subject As With The Subject Itself. It Is Through Observation And Perception Of Atmosphere That He Can Register The Feeling That He Wishes His Painting To Give Out.

The Painter's Obsession With His Subject Is All That He Needs To Drive Him To Work.
