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

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

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

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

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

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

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

No great artist ever sees things as they really are. If he did, he would cease to be an artist.

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

The beginning is the most important part of the work.
