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

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

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

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

Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.

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

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.

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

A work of art is the unique result of a unique temperament.
