Peter used to say...

"Peter used to say that everything is a self-portrait. It might look like Saint George and the Dragon or The Rape of the Sabine Women, but the angle you use, the lighting, the composition, the technique, they're all you. Even the reason why you chose this scene, it's you. You are every color and brushstroke.

Peter used to say, 'the only thing an artist can do is describe his own face.'
You're doomed being you.
This, he says, leaves us free to draw anything, since we´re only drawing ourselves.
Your handwriting. The way you walk. Which china pattern you choose. It's all giving you away. Everything you do shows your hand.
Everything is a Self-Portrait.
Everything is a Diary.
(...)
Everything is a Self-Portrait. A Diary. Your whole drug history's in a strand of your hair. Your fingernails. The forensic details. The lining of your stomach is a document. The caluses on your hand tell all your secrets. Your teeth give you away. Your accent. The wrinkles around your mouth and eyes.
Everything you do shows your hand.
Peter used to say, an artist's job is to pay attention, collect, organize, archive, preserve, then write a report. Document. Make your presentation. The job of an artist is just not to forget."

Cristales de amor amarillo...Y un verde profundo en el mar, hay algo en el aire, un detalle infinito y quiero que dure para siempre.
