Additional quotes by Bram van Velde

In this world that destroys me, the only thing that I can do is to live my weakness. That weakness is my only strength.

Painting is being alive. Through my painting, I beat back this world that stops us living and where we are in constant danger of being destroyed.. .No, you have to know when to keep silent.

Painting doesn't interest me.. .What I paint is beyond painting.

Through painting I try to get closer to nothingness, to the void. - Bram van Velde
