Art is not life, and life is not art; but the beauty and horror of the human condition exists between the two. – H.G. Mewis

Wherever I wander off to, when I draw, when I paint, I get my life back. I am lucky that I am an Artist. – Hiroko Sakai

Illusory universality is the universality of the art of the culture industry, it is the universality of the homogeneous same, an art which no longer even promises happiness but only provides easy amusement as relief from labour. – J.M. Bernstein

The more I drive myself into the depth of my inside, the more things come up to my vision, visibly or invisibly… I even do not know if I am seeing them with my eye or with my mind. I just need to copy them on my canvases. But this mental process is always overwhelming. I often have hard time to deal with my emotion on this state. You could call this depression on surface? But actually, so many ‘re-birth’ and ‘reform’ are going on on my thoughts, inspiration, philosophy…etc in the underwater. I believe this struggle make my art real. My art always comes from my emotion. – Hiroko Sakai

At moments of great enthusiasm it seems to me that no one in the world has ever made something this beautiful and important. – M.C. Escher

If somebody’s getting depressed in life, I would say, “Look at me’. I’ve got here believing in me. Sometimes, things do not go as you expected and you could feel as if you were ruining everything. But Everything can be only the path to get to the success of your dream. You can not fail until you give up. As long as you keep going, you are on the path for your success. – Hiroko Sakai

Love is fragile at best and often a burden or something that blinds us. It’s fodder for poets and song writers and they build it into something beyond human capacity. Falling in love means enrolling yourself in the school of disappointment. Being human means failing each other often, and no two people fail each other more than two people who pledge to do things for each other that they’ll never do because they are just incapable of it…That’s why art is enduring. The look of love or hope, or the look of compassion, bravery, whatever, is captured forever. We spend our lives trying to get someone to be as enduring as a painting or a sculpture and we can’t because feelings crumble as quickly as the flesh. – V.C. Andrews

Painting is so poetic, while sculpture is more logical and scientific and makes you worry about gravity. – Damien Hirst

Art is a passion or it is nothing – Robert Fry

Whether I’m painting or not, I have this overweening interest in humanity. Even if I’m not working, I’m still analyzing people. – Alice Neel
