God is really only another artist. He invented the giraffe,... - Pablo Picasso

"Painting is just another way of keeping a diary."

"The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider's web."

"I am always doing that which I can not do, in order that I may learn how to do it."

"There is no abstract art. You must always start with something. Afterward you can remove all traces of reality."

"The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls."
