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

The beginning is the most important part of the work.

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

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

An artist is not paid for his labor but for his vision.

Some painters transform the sun into a yellow spot, others transform a yellow spot into the sun.

The essence of all beautiful art, all great art, is gratitude.

In art, the hand can never execute anything higher than the heart can imagine.
