Painting means an oppurtunity for a chance. Chance does not happen but through a work. Ideas tend to stiffen and make paintings more boring. One wants to get rid of any ideas as soon as possible. Ideas tend to haunt though. Usually, in the beginning, there is a vague idea of some form, colour, feeling, place and time or even of a sound or a smell. The first idea can also be some kind of collection or combination of these all. A painter does not usually know where these essences come from but it is through work that the painting really develops, and into new directions.
Painting trusts in painter and wants to show something of the reality, figure it out. Painter's task is to trust in a painting, in what Ihe/she is doing. It is then chance's role to fill the void, the gap between me, actuality and a painting, add something extra, something unknown to the painting, that excess of the reality, that is always out there.
