The beginning is the most important part of the work.

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

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

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

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

The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.

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

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.

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