“It was a way to process my emotions,” he said of his piece “Hommage à Yves Klein” in a 2024 interview. “I punched a canvas and the wooden boards behind it until my hands started bleeding. And then I stretched the canvas and splashed white paint onto it, because it seemed too literal. At the center of the work is my blood, resulting from the pain I felt over the fact that Yves Klein had fallen into the sky.”
