“Everyone is born creative; everyone is given a box of crayons in kindergarten.

― Hugh MacLeod, Ignore Everybody: and 39 Other Keys to Creativity

“Anything that is not necessary to the painting damages it." Henri Matisse”
― Volkmar Essers, Matisse

“Art is neither a profession nor a hobby. Art is a Way of being.
