Each drawing is a would-be oil painting, for I never repeat any drawing as an oil painting, they are autonomous. My drawings have more freedom and more mobility in them than the oil paintings because I find a sheet of paper that has to rest on something hard easier to position, be it on my knees, on my belly in bed, on the table, on the floor, on the chair, and I myself can take up all sorts of positions in front of it, which cannot be done at all with a mounted canvas, or only with difficulty. The drawing is closest to the idea.

Because it is difficult enough to find a form for the body sensations and their location that you want to project onto the canvas, at the beginning. I limited myself to single colors, usually a simple red, first for the outlines, then as three-dimensional modeling, a red of pain, the body is red when you peel the skin off it, red is the color for – Stop.
