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

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

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

The artist who aims at perfection in everything achieves it in nothing.

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

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

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

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

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

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