By himself:
I sometimes sketch figures. Anonymous plants, approximate utensils, improbable architectures. And I do imediately want at once to disfigure them, deform them, abolish them and crush them. To avoid image. Because image encloses, limits imagination, falls down in the anecdote, and becomes literature. To allow vagrancy of the gaze, I have to warp the line, mislead the color, blur the forms so that the shadow of a doubt arises about what one thought to see and let desire coming out from this gap ...
