Painting Quotes

A good painting to me has always been like a friend. It keeps me company, comforts and inspires Picture Quote #1

All art is exorcism. I paint dreams and visions too; the dreams and visions of my time. Painting is the effort to produce order; order in yourself. There is much chaos in me, much chaos in our time Picture Quote #1

I am a great lover of art, in many forms: paintings, objets, textiles. I don’t have the talent for painting, but I have a very good sense of colour, a love of visual beauty Picture Quote #1

It is no use painting the foot of the tree white, the strength of the bark cries out from beneath the paint Picture Quote #1

It was a huge challenge to learn digital painting well enough so that computers don’t pop into mind when one sees one Picture Quote #1

Painting and sculpture are very archaic forms. It’s the only thing left in our industrial society where an individual alone can make something with not just his own hands, but brains, imagination, heart maybe Picture Quote #1

The artist himself is actually the subject in everything after, say, 1900. Eventually, art becomes so removed from the community that you have to know about the artist before you can even look at the painting, because there is a conceptual idea going on Picture Quote #1

I try to not get to the point where one is making wallpaper, or simply painting money. I want to make sure that I am at least trying to weigh myself down, that there’s a challenge each time Picture Quote #1

Painting picture by picture, I followed the impressions my eye took in at heightened moments. I painted only memories, adding nothing, no details that I did not see. Hence the simplicity of the paintings, their emptiness Picture Quote #1

What is the use of good painting? We want a spell cast upon the optical part of our existence! We seldom really see the world, but when we do, we become as still as a picture Picture Quote #1

I hope that my painting has the impact of giving someone, as it did me, the feeling of his own totality, of his own separateness, of his own individuality Picture Quote #1

Abstract painting is abstract. It confronts you. There was a reviewer a while back who wrote that my pictures didn’t have any beginning or any end. He didn’t mean it as a compliment, but it was Picture Quote #1

I don’t work from drawings. I don’t make sketches and drawings and color sketches into a final painting Picture Quote #1

I’m very representational some of the time, and a little all of the time. But when you’re painting out of your unconscious, figures are bound to emerge Picture Quote #1

It is only when I lose contact with the painting that the result is a mess. Otherwise there is pure harmony, an easy give and take, and the painting comes out well Picture Quote #1

On the floor I am more at ease. I feel nearer, more part of the painting, since this way I can walk around it, work from the four sides and literally be in the painting Picture Quote #1
