"When I first looked at it, I felt it was really close to perfection, and I still do. I wish you could get really close, because the surface deserves a closer look. I only worked on it for five days, which I consider one of the shortest periods ever for a work of this size. I remember putting it on the easel at least a dozen times in the following weeks, but it just felt good and finished, no matter how much I looked at it more closely. To me, it counts more as a giant drawing than a painting." (Eckhart von Glan)
