“When I’m painting things,
I’m painting them from a distance….
However, unlike those who don’t see them any
longer while nearing too close to them, and,
since I love looking at them
and touching them,
ascertain their mystery,
their unique presence,
I paint them without any mist nor veil,
not as an impression of them, but real,
with the naked eye, as they are, in detail,
from extremely close!”
