Edvard Munch

The rich colors of the sunset, the deep blue of the sea, the green of the trees, all these are only a reflection of the inner world of man.

I have painted this picture, and I have painted it with my blood.

The work of art is a confession.

I do not believe in art that is not born out of the necessity of man to open his heart.

My art is a form of self-confession.

I paint what I remember, not what I see.

The world is a stage, and we are all actors.

I am not painting what I see, but what I saw.

Art is a way of understanding life.

My art is an attempt to make visible the invisible.

I have always been a lonely man, and I have always been a sick man.

The purpose of art is to make visible the invisible.

I paint to express my feelings, not to illustrate them.

My art is a form of dialogue with myself.

I have always been fascinated by the mysteries of life and death.

Art is a way of communicating with the world.

I paint to understand myself and the world around me.

My art is a reflection of my inner turmoil.

I have always been drawn to the dark side of life.

Art is a way of confronting our fears.
