I build a kind of wall between myself and t he model so that I can paint in peace behind it. Otherwise, she might say something that confuses and distracts me.
From my rotting body, flowers shall grow and I am in them and that is eternity.
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.
Sickness, insanity and death were the angels that surrounded my cradle and they have followed me throughout my life.
