Additional quotes by Bram van Velde

I feel myself tied to life. To the immensity and complexity of life. Each painting is an impulse towards life.

I am in a thousand pieces. Painting somehow makes me whole.

Painting is so stupid, so simple. I paint to get out of the through. I paint my misery. - Bram van Velde
