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

It is through art, and through art only, that we can realise our perfection.

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

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

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

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

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.

Art is the only way to run away without leaving home.

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