+ My whole life has been spent walking by the
side of a bottomless chasm, jumping from stone
to stone. Somtimes I try to leave my narrow path
and join the swirling mainstream of life, but
I always find myself drawn inexorably back towards
the chasm's edge, and there I shall walk until
the day I finally fall into the abyss. For as
long as I can remember I have suffered from a
deep feeling of anxiety which I have tried to
express in my art. Without anxiety and illness
I should have been like a ship without a rudder.
+
Nature is not only all that is visible to the
eye.. it also includes the inner pictures of the
soul.
+ In my art I have tried to explain to myself
life and its meaning. I have also tried to help
others to clarify their lives.
+ For as long as I can remember I have suffered
from a deep feeling of anxiety which I have tried
to express in my art. Without anxiety and illness
I should have been like a ship without a rudder.
+ The camera will never compete with the brush
and palette until such time as photography can
be taken to Heaven or Hell.
+
No longer shall I paint interiors with men reading
and women knitting. I will paint living people
who breathe and feel and suffer and love.
