Selfies

If I’m away from painting for a week, I get bored.

To restrict the artist is a crime. It is to murder germinating life.

I do not innovate, I transmit.

When I know your soul, I will paint your eyes.

Everything starts from a dot

I try to apply colors like words that shape poems, like notes that shape music 

Crazy P - Heartbreaker | Rosas Nievas - Going away soon | Mutual attraction - Lost Tape | Rosegold - Entro Sernestre | Fatima Yamaha - Half moon rising | Donato Wharton - Absentia (Frank & Tony Breakaway Edit) | Traumprinz - 2 the sky (Metatron’s what if there is no end and no beginning mix) | Pantha du Prince - In an open space

Silence is so accurate 

Fleetwood Mac - Dreams (Late Night Tuff Guy Version) | Gold Panda - Time Eater | Villette - Fall (Christian Löffler Remix) | Cubicolor - Falling (Robag’s Uppa Baash Remix) | Herbert - I Hadn’t Known (I Only Heard) | | Gidge - You (Other Version) | James Blake - Modern Soul | Christian Löffler - Lost 

It is still color, it is not yet light.

Floating Points - For Marmish | Darkstar - Foam Island | Nicola Cruz - Prender el Alma | Recondite - Nifty | Mistakes are OK - Forgiven | Harvey Sutherland - Bamboo | Damiano von Erckert – We Flow feat Amalia |  André Bratten - Intro/Cave | David August - Patria feat. Sissi Rada

I have tried to do what is true and not ideal.

Traumprinz - 2Bad (DJ Metatron “What if Madness is the Only Relief” Rework) |  Ta-Ku - Beginning to End | Session Victim - Hyuwee (Kosi Remix) | Nicolas Jaar - Swim | Nthng - 1996 | Weval - Easier | Portable (feat. L_Cio) (Kosi Edit) | Kassem Mosse / Simone White - Flowers in May 

If only someone else could paint what I see, it would be marvellous, because then I wouldn’t have to paint at all.

Essáy - State of mind | Nicolas Jaar - No one is looking at U | Christian Löffler - York | K15 - The story of her life | Pepe Bradock - Lara | HNNY - Yogalates | Hot Chip - Need you now | Jake Chudnow - Shona

Light is therefore colour.

Private Agenda - Freefalling | San Soda - Juno Love | Kindness - 8th Wonder | Soul Capsule - Lady Science (NYC sunrise mix) | George Fitzgerald - Full Circle | Bob Moses - Grace | Howling - Signs (Kalabrese Remix) | The Horn - Villager

Photography is an immediate reaction, drawing is a meditation.

Nils Frahm - Unter - Tristana - Ambre | Moomin - Loop No. 1 | David August - Her Myth | dOP - You | Robag Wruhme - Pnom Gobal | We Need Cracks - Sailplane | DJ Metatron - You Will Be The King Of The Stars | Dark Sky - In Brackets

My job as a portrait photographer is to seduce, amuse and entertain.

The photographer must be absorbent, like a blotter, allow himself to be permeated by the poetic moment... His technique should be like an animal function... He should act automatically.

Saturate yourself with your subject and the camera will all but take you by the hand.

The only influence I've ever had was myself.
