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

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

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

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

Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.

Art is a step from what is obvious and well-known toward what is arcane and concealed.

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

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

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

The beginning is the most important part of the work.
