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

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.

Art is a step from what is obvious and well-known toward what is arcane and concealed.

An artist is always alone - if he is an artist. No, what the artist needs is loneliness.

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

Art is the most intense mode of individualism that the world has known.

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

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

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