"Art is a lie that makes us realize the truth" Pablo Picasso

"Every child is an artist. 

The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up."

***

"I am always doing that which I can not do,

in order that I may learn how to do it."

***

"Inspiration does exist, 

but it must find you working."

***

"It is your work in life that is the ultimate seduction."

***

"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..."

***

"There are painters who transform the sun to a yellow spot, 

but there are others who with the help of their art and their intelligence, 

transform a yellow spot into the sun."

***

"There is no abstract art. 

You must always start with something. 

Afterward you can remove all traces of reality."

***

"We all know that art is not the truth, 

art is a lie that makes us realize the truth."

***
