I love the freedom of creation, which (I hope) is visible in my works, and only one who has enough knowledge can afford freedom. You can not deal with high mathematics if you have not mastered the basics, adding up and subtracting, so it's about something similar with painting.

Additional quotes by Alfred Freddy Krupa

I always like to look where it is rarely looked. I do not like taboo topics and easy rejections. I like to find out, check, conclude on my own ... to get to know "foreign" cultures and different civilizations, a global view. For this reason, nothing is foreign to me. I do not consider myself associated with a single cultural tradition. Every human tradition is also mine. I am trying to determine myself as a citizen of the world, because so I see the future, and not in the separations based on race, nation, or religion. A contemporary artist must necessarily be a free thinker, and for a free thinker there is no dogma or taboo theme.

Looking at, ie analyzing the so-called the visual elements of an image, we see the surface, the outer look of an artwork. All practical art education (the use of artistic elements, ie art grammar) is mainly focused on this surface analysis. Sometimes, through these elements, it tries to penetrate deep into the essence of the image, into what it initiated and created a work, into an experience (this is the primary task of theory, sociology, and art history). This is very difficult. There are works that undoubtedly suggest its depth and meaning, but there is, at least sometimes, the possibility of a mistake.

After my grandfather's death in 1989 (painter and inventor Alfred Krupa / 1915-1989), I went to Sarajevo, in the Reserve Officers' School. I painted it for a year only at night with a lamp in order to enroll in the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb in 1991. But, as there was wartime and complex circumstances, the enrollment to the Academy was also quite dramatic.-My head was sentenced to death in absentia as I was the second junior JNA officer in Slovenia who crossed over to the side of the defenders of Slovenia, at the beginning of the war aggression against Slovenia. I came home I spent a few months in Karlovac, so I could not go to the summer exam in the summer, but only in the autumn when it was organized for me and two other colleagues. I was admitted to the academy, a war started and I, as a volunteer, joined the defense of the homeland. I was the only participant of the Homeland War at the 1st year of the painting study at the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb.
