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

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

Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.

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

The beginning is the most important part of the work.

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

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

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

An artist is always alone - if he is an artist. No, what the artist needs is loneliness.

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