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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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