... I do not conceive a picture through my own will, I never know before what should be in the picture, if one figure or several, and what to paint around them. Intention would be the wire fence that would prevent depth, the abysses, compiled knowledge, desires and despairs from entering in their entirety. Intention would be something concrete, which would be in the way. However, I start out from something vague I only wish to define during my work, from something mysterious I seek to illustrate, so that it will take me by surprise when it is there.
