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

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

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

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

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

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

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