Cy Twombly

I like to work in series, to explore an idea over time, to see how it evolves.

I think art should be a bit uncomfortable, a bit disturbing.

I'm interested in the ephemeral, in the fleeting moment, in the things that are not permanent.

I don't think art should be easy. It should make you think, it should make you feel.

I like to use materials that have a history, that have a past, that have a story to tell.

I think of my work as a kind of conversation, a dialogue with the past, with other artists, with myself.

I'm interested in the power of the gesture, in the immediacy of the mark.

I don't believe in progress in art. I believe in change, in evolution.

I like to work on a large scale, to create an immersive experience for the viewer.

I think art should be a bit messy, a bit chaotic, a bit unpredictable.

I'm interested in the relationship between text and image, between writing and drawing.

I don't think art should be explained. It should be experienced.

I like to work in different mediums, to explore different possibilities.

I think art should be a bit poetic, a bit lyrical, a bit musical.

I'm interested in the human body, in its gestures, in its movements.

I don't think art should be decorative. It should be meaningful.

I like to work in solitude, to be alone with my thoughts, with my materials.

I think art should be a bit spiritual, a bit transcendent.

I'm interested in the natural world, in its forms, in its rhythms.

I don't think art should be easy to understand. It should require effort, engagement.
