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

Painting is easy when you don't know how, but very difficult when you do.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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