The highest art is always the most religious, and the greatest artist is always a devout person.

The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.

I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way - things I had no words for.

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

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

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

An artist is somebody who produces things that people don't need to have.

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.

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