Usually artists are asked about their life and their work, what I'm going to do is give you a few quotes about these matters which I am taking from a series of interviews I did with Laura Castro, the Portuguese Art Historian and Educator.

"Things only have the value that we place upon them... Art is not the truth, but is a convincing lie. Even in a convincing lie you enforce the idea that art is about speculation, not about reality."

"I think that it is very important for the artist to ask, is this really mine? Is it authentically mine? Authenticity is a very difficult thing to describe, but after years of work you know your own mark, your own particular way of doing something, you know that only you could have made that exact work."
