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

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

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

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

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.

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

It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.

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

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