Additional quotes by Bram van Velde

Painting is getting in touch with the truth. It's a matter of summoning up the vision I need.

A painter is somebody who sees. I paint the moment when I set out. When I set out to see. And it’s the same thing for the viewer. When he approaches the canvas, he is advancing towards an encounter. The encounter with vision.

An artist’s life is all very fine and moving. But only in retrospect. In books.
