Painting is getting in touch with the truth. It's a matter of summoning up the vision I need.

Bram van Velde

When you cross any border there is always an uneasy moment when you feel yourself automatically an enemy. Artists don't belong to any group or country... When you are living the truth, the world no longer exists, events become unimportant. But the way of truth is not easy.... if you are on the side of truth, you have no power. That's why you are always defeated. The power, all the power, is on the side of the world... I have been completely absorbed in my adventure. No country, no family, no ties. I didn't exist anymore. I just had to press on.

Bram van Velde

Something is trying to come into the world. But I don't know what it is. I never start by knowing. It's impossible to know. Truth is not knowledge.
