“Art is the lie that enables us to realize the truth.”― Pablo Picasso.
If I create from the heart, nearly everything works if from the head, almost nothing. Art is a step in the known toward the unknown. Graffiti is beautiful like a brick in the face of a cop. When you stop doing things for fun, you might as well be dead. When I say artist I mean the man who is building things…some with a brush – some with a shovel – some choose a pen. Every artist dips his brush in his own soul and paints his own nature into his pictures. I feel most alive when I’m neck-deep in my craft. Self-portraits are a way of revealing something about oneself. I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. My idea of Heaven is to wake up, have a good breakfast, and spend the rest of the day drawing. Art attracts us only by what it reveals of our most secret self. “Creativity takes courage.” – Henri Matisse. “Being an artist is the same as being a wizard… only instead of a wand, you use a pencil for your magic.”. If you are willing to do something that might not work, you’re closer to being an artist. If you could say it in words, there would be no reason to paint. “There’s a fine line between genius and insanity. I sometimes think there is nothing so delightful as sketching. You are the entire ocean in a drop.” -Rumi The moment you think you understand a great work of art, it’s dead for you.
“Painting is the silence of thought and the music of sight”. “Art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable.”. “Have no fear of perfection, you’ll never reach it.” – Salvador Dalí. The world revolves because of creative people. “The chief enemy of creativity is ‘good’ sense.”. Every man’s work, whether it be literature, or music or pictures or architecture or anything else, is always a portrait of himself. Funny art captions for Instagram to slip humor. “We don’t make mistakes, just happy little accidents.” – Bob Ross. I know of nothing with any certainity, but the sight of the stars makes me dream. I think, if one is a true art lover, he can’t stick to a particular genre. When love and skill work together, expect a masterpiece. Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time. Art is either plagiarism or revolution. It’s one of the nastiest things you can hit someone with. Art is the concrete representation of our most subtle feelings.
