“She listens to the history of her painting read aloud in court and finds it hard to associate her portrait, the little painting that has hung serenely on her bedroom wall, with such trauma, such globally significant events.”

“Eloquence is painted thought, and thus those who, after having painted it, add somewhat more, make a picture, not a portrait.”

“She had large, questioning eyes that seemed to draw me in and a sense of quiet outrage that simmered just beneath the surface. More than anything, within her features, there was a streak of wild quirkiness that made her dazzlingly attractive.”

“Behind every selfportrait,
There's an idea I want to convey,
A pose, a concept, a quote;
I want to inteprete.
But most often than not : this is not about me.
It's about curves,
It's about light,
It's about motion,
And emotions.
At a certain period,
When artists wanted to represent themselves,
They had to sit and paint,
And lie and wait.
For hours.
And during those times they spent,
In layers and layers of colours,
They had to have this whole introspection process...
It's got to be.
Because it's about expressing something that comes from within.
It's about sharing a part of ourselves;
A part we'd rather keep secret.”
