Egon Schiele

I am not a painter of the common, but of the unique.

I am not a painter of the known, but of the unknown.

I am not a painter of the seen, but of the felt.

I am not a painter of the heard, but of the unspoken.

I am not a painter of the touched, but of the intangible.

I am not a painter of the tasted, but of the essence.

I am not a painter of the smelled, but of the spirit.

I am not a painter of the senses, but of the soul.

I am not a painter of the world, but of the cosmos.

I am not a painter of reality, but of truth.

I do not belong to anyone. I am free.

The human body is the greatest landscape.

Everything is dead while I am alive.

I paint the soul, not the surface.

My body is my temple, my canvas.

Expressionism is the art of the inner scream.

I seek the truth in distorted forms.

Life is a fleeting pose, capture it raw.

The artist must suffer to create.

Colors are emotions on the page.
