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

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

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

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.

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

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

The beginning is the most important part of the work.

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

The highest art is always the most religious, and the greatest artist is always a devout person.
