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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Without freedom, no art art lives only on the restraints it imposes on itself, and dies of all others.

The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.
