interpret X in my own way
Explanation:
"I always like to interpret the subject in my own way."
Since we know he is talking about painting I think you can safely leave "I am painting" out of the sentence.
Just one suggestion,. there are other possibilities.

Explanation:
This is a commonly used (and correct) structure that can be used.

Example sentence(s):
  • "For this picture I decided TO PUT MY OWN INTERPRETATION ON THE SUBJECT. The limestone face is created by under painting gesso with water color washes over the top. "
  • "..... who, an hour before I'd finished his list of 'required shots' was on his third pint in the local pub. At least with that character I could PUT MY OWN INTERPRETATION ON THE SUBJECT."
