Painting Is Another Form Of Thinking.

I Believe That The Quintessential Task Of Every Painter In Any Time Has Been To Concentrate On The Essential.

Politicians Are Nauseating By Definition... They Can Produce Nothing, Neither A Loaf Of Bread Nor A Table Nor A Picture; And This Inability To Create Value, This Total Inferiority, Makes Them Jealous, Vengeful, Insolent And A Menace To Life And Limb.

I Want Pictorial Content Without Sentiment, But I Want It As Human As Possible
