Quotes by Ian Roberts  (?)

“Then the relationship to your creative expression becomes similar to raising a child. Your responsibility is no longer a choice. It won’t go away. If you want your creative expression to grow strong and free, you must nourish it. You must cherish it, though it may often drive you crazy. Your creative inner voice will mirror your weaknesses to help you grow and show you moments of connection and creativity you can only describe as divine. The question of whether you are creative or talented enough becomes as irrelevant as asking whether your child is intelligent enough to deserve your attention. Raising a child involves situations that constantly test you. Routines and patterns are constantly being broken to make way for new ones. So”
Ian Roberts, Creative Authenticity: 16 Principles to Clarify and Deepen Your Artistic Vision

“Painting should call out to the viewer…and the surprised viewer should go to it, as if entering a conversation.—Roger de Piles, COURS DE PEINTRE PAR PRINCIPLES, 1676”
Ian Roberts, Creative Authenticity: 16 Principles to Clarify and Deepen Your Artistic Vision

“Authenticity results from the depth of the artist’s feelings. And this is the key to how much silence, consciousness or attention the art reflects.”
