Without art, the crudeness of reality would make the world unbearable.

If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint,' then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.

Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.

I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way - things I had no words for.

Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others.

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

The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls.

Art is the only way to run away without leaving home.

Art is a step from what is obvious and well-known toward what is arcane and concealed.

The beginning is the most important part of the work.
