Here are a few of my favorite artist quotes. Often when I am in a slump with my own projects, I read these quotes to get me up again. They also help me to understand what many artists from the past and of current times are thinking about when they create art.
Painting is therefore the mind realizing itself in color and space.
I painted from memory without adding anything, without the details that I no longer saw in front of me. This is the reason for the simplicity of the paintings, their obvious emptiness. I painted the impressions of my childhood, the dull colors of a forgotten day. I want to aim at similarity, a profound similarity which is more real than reality, thus becoming surrealist. But only in the clearest and strongest way.
