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

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

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

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

A guilty conscience needs to confess. A work of art is a confession.

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

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

No great artist ever sees things as they really are. If he did, he would cease to be an artist.

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

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