“The missing images. In the morning calm they return and disappear again. They disappear into a vast world that is there, and yet so distant. These images form in the trees, fruits, houses, or hills, in which time sleeps. They reveal themselves in the paintings, slowly. They live in closed spaces, in dense foliage, in worn patches, in the evening light of the scrubland. These images give me space, space.” “Break the image, move toward a force that quickly disappears, toward an intensity that is missing. Without it, nature is lifeless, the effort useless. Where is the calm? Can I recognize it now as a nascent movement? Return to it without projecting myself yet toward drawing. Give time to calm.”
