Drawing is the honesty of the art. There is no possibility of cheating. It is either good or bad.

Without freedom, no art art lives only on the restraints it imposes on itself, and dies of all others.

Painting is easy when you don't know how, but very difficult when you do.

An artist is somebody who produces things that people don't need to have.

The artist who aims at perfection in everything achieves it in nothing.

Without tradition, art is a flock of sheep without a shepherd. Without innovation, it is a corpse.

The highest art is always the most religious, and the greatest artist is always a devout person.

If you do not breathe through writing, if you do not cry out in writing, or sing in writing, then don't write, because our culture has no use for it.

A man paints with his brains and not with his hands.

It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.
