Diego Rivera

The artist must be a keen observer of the world, capturing its essence in their work.

My art is a reflection of my deep love for Mexico and its people.

I want my art to inspire a sense of pride and identity in the Mexican people.

I have always believed that art should serve a purpose, that it should have a message.

The artist must be a fearless explorer, pushing the boundaries of creativity.

My art is a testament to the enduring spirit of humanity.

I want my art to be a source of inspiration and hope for those who see it.

I have always been drawn to the raw power and emotion of folk art.

The artist must be a chronicler of their time, documenting the triumphs and struggles of humanity.

My art is a bridge between the past and the future, connecting generations through shared stories.

Art is the hammer that breaks the wall of the prison of the human spirit.

I am an atheist and I consider religions to be a matter of choice and, so, mine is that of my native ancestors. I strongly believe in science and conscience based on observation of surroundings and human behavior.

The well-known phrase 'art for art's sake' is a lie.

My father was a pharmacist, but he didn't like it. He wanted to be a painter. So he gave me all his paints and brushes.

Through her painting, my mother inextricably bound us to our native Mexico.

I am a man who loves justice and truth.

Painting is just another way of keeping a diary.

I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone, because I am the person I know best.

Mural painting is the most democratic form of art.

The only good art is revolutionary art.
