“There are many different reasons why I paint, but without intending it I always recreate the same scene over and over again: a group of boys with outstretched arms, standing on the freezing mountain with two helicopters arriving from the valley. I paint them again and again, but what is most curious is that every time I paint them I count the boys, never knowing whether they are greeting the helicopters when they arrive or saying goodbye when they leave. I count them and I count them again, and with tears in my eyes I always discover that there are more than sixteen.”
