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

Without tradition, art is a flock of sheep without a shepherd. Without innovation, it is a corpse.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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