The Painter's Obsession With His

I Want Paint To Work As Flesh... My Portraits To Be Of The People, Not Like Them. Not Having A Look Of The Sitter, Being Them ... As Far As I Am Concerned The Paint Is The Person. I Want It To Work For Me Just As Flesh Does.

What Do I Ask Of A Painting? I Ask It To Astonish, Disturb, Seduce, Convince.

I Paint People, Not Because Of What They Are Like, Not Exactly In Spite Of What They Are Like, But How They Happen To Be.

As Far As I Am Concerned The Paint Is The Person. I Want It To Work For Me Just As Flesh Does

I Would Wish My Portraits To Be Of The People, Not Like Them. Not Having A Look Of The Sitter, Being Them.
