"All children are artists

The problem is how to remain

an artist once he grows up."


- Pablo Picasso







"Color is my day-long obsession,

joy and torment."


- Claude Monet







"The only time I feel alive is

when I'm painting."


- Vincent Van Gogh







"Every good painter paints what he is."


- Jackson Pollock







"A man paints with his brains

and not with his hands."


- Michaelangelo







"I’m not an abstractionist.

I’m not interested in the

relationship of color or form

or anything else. I’m interested

only in expressing basic

human emotions: tragedy,

ecstasy, doom, and so on."


- Mark Rothko







"To become truly immortal,

a work of art must escape all

human limits: logic and common

sense will only interfere. But

once these barriers are broken,

it will enter the realms of

childhood visions and dreams."


- Giorgio de Chirico
