It is always better to make your own mistakes and not someone else's.
There must be an open space in the paintings - an entry space for the viewer, or even for me. Just white space where you can get into it.
I don't like finished things, because finished is over, dead.
In a way, my paintings are like my children. They have many possibilities in life. You tell them, 'I believe that you're good and I trust that wherever you are and whatever you do, you will do it right.
There are quite a lot of people asking for a painting so I'm not able to fulfil all their wishes. And this gives me a lot of freedom, because if I cannot please them at all I don't have to start to try.
I always have the idea in mind that when Botticelli was an old man nobody cared about him because he was out of fashion. Imagine, Botticelli was out of fashion!
