" Black is a color that can be light or dark."
" I want to create a space where light can exist." " I paint with black because it is the most complete color." " I am not interested in the object, but in the light that it reflects." " The work is not finished until it is seen by the viewer." " Black is not a color, it is a light." " I have always painted with black." " The painting is a space of light." " I am not interested in the subject, but in the light." " I want to create a space where the viewer can feel the light." |
