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

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

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

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

Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.

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

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

The beginning is the most important part of the work.

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

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