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

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

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

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

True art is characterized by an irresistible urge in the creative artist.

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

No great artist ever sees things as they really are. If he did, he would cease to be an artist.

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

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

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