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

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

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

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

An artist is not paid for his labor but for his vision.

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

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

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

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

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