We are going to finish this picture just the way I want it... because you cannot compromise an artist's vision.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I am an artist, you understand? For me, a picture is like poetry. When you make art, this is not coming from an intellectual place. It's coming from the deep side of your unconscious, your soul.
I think every artist should follow their vision, their hearts is what they need to reveal, not something that society is looking out for.
I crave to be able to photograph the way a painter paints - in a loose, expressive way.
The artist is the medium between his fantasies and the rest of the world.
I've had the thought that a person's 'artistic vision' is really just the cumulative combination of whatever particular stances he has sincerely occupied during his creative life - even if some of those might appear contradictory.
What an artist is trying to do for people is bring them closer to something, because of course art is about sharing. You wouldn't be an artist unless you wanted to share an experience, a thought.
Part of being an artist is that you are always concerned you don't have what it takes. It... keeps us honest.
To be an artist is not a matter of making paintings or objects at all. What we are really dealing with is our state of consciousness and the shape of our perceptions.
As an artist, you can never get what you want. What you do never approaches what you want it to be.
I like the idea that paintings are not representations of an artist's psyche. Making the paintings is what gives the artist her psyche in the first place.
