The only thing I have learned is to find strength in yourself. No one can help you, no one can do anything for you, you have to do the work yourself.
Marina AbramovicDo you know what's most interesting? Working with the very strong restrictions of the institution. In the Renaissance, the aristocrats would order paintings from the artist. They would order the Crucifixion of Jesus. The restrictions were amazing. Jesus had to be in the middle, three apostles on the left, four apostles on the right - and still you had masterpieces. It's really interesting to work within restriction, and see what you can do with restriction.
Marina AbramovicOnce, Picasso was asked what his paintings meant. He said, โDo you ever know what the birds are singing? You donโt. But you listen to them anyway.โ So, sometimes with art, it is important just to look.
Marina AbramovicThere's nothing more tragic than artists from the 70s still doing art from the 70s.
