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

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

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

Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others.

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

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

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

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

Art is the most intense mode of individualism that the world has known.

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