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

If you do not breathe through writing, if you do not cry out in writing, or sing in writing, then don't write, because our culture has no use for it.

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

If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint,' then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.

I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way - things I had no words for.

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

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

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

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