My paintings cannot be a negation of what has always been and always will be necessary - drawing and search for values.
All my paintings are usually done in drawing form, very small. I make notations in drawings first, and then I make a collage for color. But drawing is always my notation.
I am trying to represent design through drawing. I have always drawn things to a high degree of detail. That is not an ideological position I hold on drawing but is rather an expression of my desire to design and by extension to build. This has often been mistaken as a fetish I have for drawing: of drawing for drawing’s sake, for the love of drawing. Never. Never. Yes, I love making a beautiful, well-crafted drawing, but I love it only because of the amount of information a precise drawing provides
The advanced education in Tantra obviously has to do with the entrance into samadhi, the negation of the self. That is what the path of negation means, not the negation of life, but the negation of anything that is not enlightenment.
I'm always in search for perfection. If it's not perfect, I'm back to the drawing board.
Even though I'm usually not conscious of it, I think drawing has always served a sort of therapeutic purpose in my life. There's something about the process of translating the messy chaos of real life into a clean, simple drawing that's always been comforting to me.
Shape and color are my two strong things. And by doing this, drawing plants has always led me into my paintings and my sculptures.
I'm against war. Always have been, always will be. And everything connected with it, is anathema to me. I have never considered it necessary.
I have always been fascinated by paleontology and prehistoric people, and I've always thought that one of the most intriguing moments in human history was the birth of artistic imagination. I always loved those cave paintings.
I will always find even the worst paintings that attempt some kind of representation better than the best invented paintings.
Man has wanted to look beyond, wanted to expand himself; and all that we call progress, evolution, has been always measured by that one search, the search for human destiny, the search for God.
But capitalist production begets,with the inexorability of a law of Nature,its own negation. It is the negation of negation.
A service culture doesn't happen by accident. The company is always a reflection of the person at the helm. Their attitude, their values, and their commitment to service excellence will drive the actions of others in the organization. Always has...always will.
As a world view, Darwinism cannot of course be refuted, since Faith is, always has been, and always will be, stronger than facts

There's always a latent or inferred image in my writing. And I can almost always assume if I do a drawing that it will eventually have text.
I've always made things either paintings, drawing, photographs, or writing. It's all kind of the same thing. It all involves saying more, I guess. It involves separating life, breaking off this chunk that's devoted to making something. There's a lot of pleasure in that, but there can also be a lot of struggle. There's always this fantasy that you could just live life and not have to think about it.
