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

The beginning is the most important part of the work.

It is through art, and through art only, that we can realise our perfection.

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

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

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

True art is characterized by an irresistible urge in the creative artist.

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

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.
