Art must always remain earnest... Art must be serious, no sarcasm, comedy. One does not laugh at a loved one.

We are part of the world creation, and we ourselves create nothing. Our knowledge allows us to make use of all the forces already in existence, our art to interpret emotions already felt. One big war, an epidemic, and we collapse into ignorance and darkness, fit sons of chimpanzees.

Dreams form the bristles of the artist's brush.

I communicate my innermost perceptions through art.

When something is finished, that means it's dead, doesn't it? I believe in everlastingness. I never finish a painting - I just stop working on it for a while.

Drawing is the basis of art. A bad painter cannot draw. But one who draws well can always paint.

Art must always remain earnest... Art must be serious, no sarcasm, comedy. One does not laugh at a loved one.
