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

The artist who aims at perfection in everything achieves it in nothing.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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