The beginning is the most important part of the work.

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

Without art, the crudeness of reality would make the world unbearable.

Without tradition, art is a flock of sheep without a shepherd. Without innovation, it is a corpse.

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

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

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

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

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

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