What I wanted to do with my realism was create a new reality, to break the creative compartmentalization between painting and sculpture... I worked on huge pictures in which the figures stuck out from the two-dimensionality of the canvas, erupting into the physical space of the viewer. I wanted to advance, to go beyond painting...to harness the tension of reality.
