I Wanted To Build Up A Name

Since I Was Seventeen I Thought I Might Be A Star. I'd Think About All My Heroes, Charlie Parker, Jimi Hendrix... I Had A Romantic Feeling About How These People Became Famous.

I Start A Picture And I Finish It.

The Black Person Is The Protagonist In Most Of My Paintings. I Realized That I Didn't See Many Paintings With Black People In Them.

I Am Not A Black Artist, I Am An Artist.

If I'm Away From Painting For A Week, I Get Bored.
