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

A picture is a poem without words.

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

The sculptor produces the beautiful statue by chipping away such parts of the marble block as are not needed - it is a process of elimination.

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

Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.

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

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

The beginning is the most important part of the work.

A good painting to me has always been like a friend. It keeps me company, comforts and inspires.
