I am a painter. What happens to me during the process of painting is what makes me want to do it again and again. Every time it is a little different from the time before. While each painting changes, I, the painter, am changed as well. Painting is a language. It has all the same features: letters, punctuation marks, words, grammar, historic reference, dialects, rhythm, poetry and humor. And just like spoken language, painting needs a physical carrier for its expression. Speech can take place only when there is air, a tongue and vocal cords. Similarly, painting can only happen when there is paint, a surface and a painter’s body.
