'I make my own landscapes trying to remember the bits and pieces of objects that remain familiar to me in my memory. Objects jumbled roughly together: that is the landscape I've seen throughout my life. These images are stored and reorganized in my head, and then they are moved onto the paper where they seem harmonious, natural and calm, as if they had always been there, in that same condition.'
