Art is a pictorial representation of life and wild adventures of the mind. It is a window through which different kinds of emotions are passed, anger, love, peace, joy, without actually physically showing it.
Art speaks louder than words or action with different emotions wavering around it, those emotions which are passed to every eye that is laid on it. As an artist, your emotions are passed to different people who might even understand it in completely different ways.
However, some artists are successful, some gave up halfway, some never believed in themselves, some never even gave it a try. But maybe you just needed a push and words of encouragement. Here are the top 30 quotes I have prepared for you to give you a little push and bring out the great artist in you.
