Limited resources force you to make do with what you've got. There's no room for waste. And that forces you to be creative.

Making work is a documentation of a journey - each stage, each process, each dilemma has to be worked through. At one time I felt pressured to do a lot of things at the same time, but now I want to take one step at a time. When you make an artwork you're not just doing something at that moment, you're contributing to an entire history of artmaking.

It is the limitation of means that determine style, gives rise to new forms and makes creativity possible.

I think restrictions are an essential condition in the fight for freedom of expression. It’s also a source for any kind of creativity.

What we respond to in any work of art is the artist’s struggle against his or her limitations.

Limitations force you to find the essence of what you want to say, which is one of the most important things to know for an artist.

My works have always been born from the interest, the curiosity, that I have for the material and the possible ways of working it; and then find solutions often even at the limit, I would say. It is always necessary to pay close attention to the choice of materials with which an object will be made, since a relationship with the form is always very delicate. Technological innovation represents one of the fundamental aspects for the designer's work, but it must not lead to the exasperation of the technique at the expense of other aspects.

The technical obstacles of painting perhaps dictate this form. It derives also from the limitations of personality, and such may be the simplifications that I have attempted.

Creativity arises out of the tension between spontaneity and limitations, the latter (like the river banks) forcing the spontaneity into the various forms which are essential to the work of art or poem.

My work is also very minimalist aesthetically, which is an extension of me. I think as an individual I am constantly living and dealing with a myriad of complexities, so I crave and need simplicity to function and I think those same principles drive my work.

Fine artists deal with finery, but I deal with painful material.

Style is the outcome of constraint.

You know how you're always trying to get things to come out perfect in art because it's real difficult in life

The price an artist pays for doing what he wants is that he has to do it.
