Catalogue Note

"Se mi domandano quanto tempo mi ci vuole per dipingere una tela, non saprei. Spesso entro nel mio atelier, in effetti ci vado praticamente ogni giorno, apro la porta e la chiudo, non posso fare nulla. Ma quando funziona, il tempo non conta più, posso uscirne dieci ore, anche venti ore dopo, ma in uno stato diverso".
