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

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

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

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

The essence of all beautiful art, all great art, is gratitude.

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

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

The beginning is the most important part of the work.

An artist is always alone - if he is an artist. No, what the artist needs is loneliness.

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