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.

Painting is easy when you don't know how, but very difficult when you do.

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

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

A work of art is the unique result of a unique temperament.

The beginning is the most important part of the work.

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

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