The artist does not choose to be sensitive and creative. The artist is born sensitive and creative. The artist decides at a certain point in life to cultivate an innate passion: that of becoming moved, of metabolizing these emotions, of expressing them on a canvas or on the shapeless material before him, of feeling shy in front of his own unfinished work, of altering himself as he creates, of feeling fulfilled at the moment of completing his own 'creature'. To me, this is what 'making art' means.
