“And the big daddy that I learned from all this: I actually CAN’T paint like other artists, and nor do I want to. That’s the best thing this exercise has taught me over the years; it’s fun to experiment, to try out what other artists are doing, but if I only ever did that I’d be unfulfilled and dissatisfied. I’d be surrounded by a vegetarian buffet and craving steak.”
“The world is burning, people are barely holding on — and millionaires are betting on dead pieces of canvas. Yes, I said it: a piece of canvas. Because art is meant to live, to breathe, to move us — not to be traded like stock or hoarded like trophies. But in their hands, it’s just a price tag. And that’s the tragedy!”
