“The problem is that I can’t find my own style,” he says. “Whenever I think of an idea for a piece, I know who it’s copying. I always see something of someone else in everything I do. I don’t have an original style.”

That is quite fascinating to me. Until I read that paragraph I was wondering why he wouldn't do originals given his talent. The article also reminds me of a talented American forger. I forget his name but he managed to fool people for a long time. But, if I remember correctly, he was never prosecuted because he never sold any of his paintings. He would donate it to museums as originals. Boy, were they embarrassed when the forgeries came to light.
