Cal evitar n\u00e9ixer en un poble de Badajoz i emigrar on Barcelona perd el nom. Evitar entendre l’art com un estat i no com un ofici. Evitar
investigar centrant-se en un estil reconeixible. Evitar els dubtes adoptant posicions inamovibles. Defugir l’ambici\u00f3 intel\u00b7lectual d’entendre l’art com a vida. I sobretot, evitar la humilitat que torna als artistes en \u00e9ssers vulgars.
Veient la meva biografia diria: \u00abi tu per qu\u00e8 no ho has evitat?\u00bb A la qual cosa contestaria: \u00abperqu\u00e8 \u2014i faria una pausa\u2014 \u00e9s el meu car\u00e0cter\u00bb. <\/p>\n
We must avoid being born in a small town of Badajoz and migrating to the area where Barcelona loses its name. Avoid understanding art as a state and not as a profession. Avoid investigating by focusing on a recognizable style. Avoid doubts by adopting immovable positions. Avoid the intellectual desire to understand art as life. Above all, avoid the humbleness that turns artists into vulgar beings. Looking at my biography, I would ask: \u00abwhy didn\u2019t you avoid it?\u00bb To which I would answer: \u00abbecause \u2014pause\u2014 it is my character\u00bb.<\/p>\n
