I think he is very honest. Painting is more work than expression. He works daily like in any working place. You do it conciously not in an emotion or affection. I feel relaxed when I paint but sometimes very frustrated and I hesitate a lot. I ask my self Is this good or bad? Is this shit? Can I achieve my vision at all. We think that an artist is a magigian that people adore or so but it is a myth. Romantic illusion. What about truth: poverty , hunger, sort of money that nobody wants to hear. My sister failed as an artist. Now she hates art museums. It was so terrible to make a failure as an artist that nobody would buy.

I like the use of the torch in the face, it is like some weird underground dealings going on.

Man, I love the way he speaks about painting! "What did you feel when you painted this painting?" "Nothing I don't feel anything when i paint...what is there to feel?"
