介绍： If you decide to be a painter, you have to decide that you're not afraid to make a fool of yourself. Another thing is to find subjects that really absorb you, without a subject that eats into you, you automatically go into decoration.
如果你立志成为画家，就必须做好甘愿出丑的准备。另一要诀是寻找真正能让你沉浸其中的题材，若缺乏能深入骨髓的主题，创作便会流于表面装饰。
The greatest art always returns you to the vulnerability of the human situation. I'm greedy for life and greedy as an artist. And it's my greed that has made me live by chance. Greed for food, for drink, for the excitement of action.
最伟大的艺术总会将你带回人类处境的脆弱本质。我贪婪地渴求生活，也贪婪地追求艺术。正是这份贪婪让我能随遇而安地生活——对食物的渴求、对饮品的渴望、对行动刺激的追求。
Life is so short and whilst I can move and see and feel. I want life to go on existing. I think art is an obsession with life, and after all since we are human beings. Our greatest obsession is with our ourselves.
生命如此短暂，只要我还能行动、观察、感受，就渴望生命永续。艺术本质是对生命的执念，而身为人类最深的执念，莫过于对自我的追寻。
I've done a lot of self-portraits really, because people have been dying around me like flies and I've no one else left to paint but myself.
我画过不少自画像，毕竟身边人接连离世，只剩下我自己可以作画。
The way I try to evoke appearance makes one question the very meaning of appearance. The longer I work, the more the mystery of appearance deepens. And it takes a sort of magic to coagulate color and form to evoke appearance, because that appearance is only riveted for one single moment in time.
我试图唤起表象的方式，让人不禁质疑表象的本质。工作时间越长，表象的神秘感就越发加深。要凝聚色彩与形态以唤起表象，需要某种魔力，因为这种表象仅在某一瞬间被定格。
In a second, you may blink your eye or move your head and you look again, and the appearance has changed. I don't regard myself as gifted just as receptive.
转眼间，你眨眨眼或转转头再看时，景象已然改变。我并不认为自己是天赋异禀，只是善于感知。
I don't think I could have been anything else but a painter and doesn't know. After all, I'm an old man now. But I don't know. Everything that I do goes into painting.
我无法想象自己除了成为画家还能做什么，我也不愿去想。毕竟，我已是耄耋之年。但说实话，我并不确定。我所做的，就是将一切都倾注于绘画之中。
