The beginning is the most important part of the work.

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

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

Art is the only way to run away without leaving home.

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

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

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

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

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

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