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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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