Artists Quotes

“Some may view BL series as just another genre that tells the love story between two people, but there are still those who are not open-minded and don't fully accept the idea of sexual diversity. Honestly, I wish they would give it a chance because it's quite fun! Nowadays, BL series come in a variety of styles. There are grand productions, stories that cross borders and time, period dramas, etc. The genre has expanded significantly and has become one of Thailand's soft powers.”

“Artists create records of transitory moments, appearing to stop their clocks. They help us believe that some things aren’t transitory at all but rather remain beautiful, true, majestic, sad, or joyful over many lifetimes—and here is the proof, painted in pole, carved in marble, stitched into quilts.”

“One of the reasons so many great artists die of overdoses early in their lives is because they're using drugs to numb a very painful existence. The reason it's painful is the reason they became artists in the first place: their incredible sensitivity. If you see tremendous beauty or tremendous pain where other people see little or nothing at all, you're confronted with big feelings all the time. These emotions can be confusing and overwhelming. When those around you don't see what you see and feel what you feel, this can lead to a sense of isolation and a general feeling of not belonging, of otherness. These charged emotions, powerful when expressed in the work, are the same dark clouds that beg to be numbed to allow sleep or to get out of bed and face the day in the morning. It's a blessing and a curse.”

“مادرم بعدها گفت:(( عشق یک عمل است؛ فقط حرف نیست و هرگز هم نبوده.)) چقدر این حرف درست است. او می گفت: (( همه ی ما با توانایی عشق ورزیدن به دنیا می آییم؛ با این حال، باید مثل هر ماهیچه ی دیگری آن را پرورش بدهیم.))”

“اهل تئاتر غالبا رامبراند را شکسپیر نقاشان می نامند، زیرا استعداد و توانایی این صورتگر در نمایاندن عمق ذات شخصیت های گوناگون، شفقتی که نسبت به شخصیت های هر یک از تابلوهایش نشان می دهد، چیره دستی حیرت آور او در دریافت لحظه های بسیار حساس و چشمگیر و مجسم ساختن بسیار دقیق و زیرکانه ی آن لحظه ها بر پرده ی نقاشی، آن چنان است که وی را به آسانی با شکسپیر قابل مقایسه می سازد، با این تفاوت که شکسپیر در کار خود از کلمات یاری می گیرد و رامبراند از قلم مو و رنگ ها مدد می جوید.”

“رنگ ها نیز به حد شگفت آوری خطرناک بودند چون در ساخت آنها از سرب، آرسنیک و نوعی جیوه استفاده می شد. رنگ کاران ساختمان عموما دچار یک بیماری ناشناخته به نام قولنج نقاشان بودند که ناشی از مسمومیت سرب بود و عوارضی مانند رعشه، سرفه های شدید، خستگی و کوفتگی، افسردگی شدید، بی اشتهایی، توهم، و نابینایی داشت. یکی از علائم مسمویت از سرب این است که باعث بزرگ شدن بیش از حد شبکیه چشم قربانیان و دیدن هاله ای به وسیله ی آنان در اطراف اشیا می شود، عارضه ای که وینسنت وان گوگ از آن در نقاشی های خود استفاده کرده است. احتمالا خود اون از مسمویت سرب رنج می برد. اغلب هنرمندان مسموم می شدند. یکی از کسانی که دچار مسمویت سرب شده بود جیمز مک نیل ویستلر بود که از مقدار زیادی سرب برای خلق یک تابلوی نقاشی به اندازه ی واقعی به نام دختر سفید استفاده کرد.”

“The key to effective communication is targeting the heart rather than the head. In the grand symphony of ideas, the harmonious chord struck in the heart echoes the loudest, reaching over the barriers of scepticism and intellectual fortresses.”

“When you're small, you have little to lose. There's no pressure. You can take huge risks, like running radical and original ad campaigns. You can make edgy and ground-breaking films, exhibitions, or books. You don't have to consider your reputation, colossal studio, staff, or agents. If you're unknown, make the most of your freedom.”

“The Germans and Carlyle have perverted both thought and phraseology when they made the Artist the term for expressing the highest order of moral and intellectual greatness. The older idea is the truer- that Art, in relation to Truth, is but a language. Philosophy is the proper name for that exercise of the intellect which enucleates the truth to be expressed. The Artist is not the Seer; not he who can detect truth, but he who can clothe a given truth in the most expressive and impressive symbols.”

“After all, Paul Robeson said, ‘Artists are the radical voice of civilization.’ Each and every one of you in this room, with your gifts and your power and your skills, could perhaps change the way in which our global humanity mistrusts itself. Perhaps we as artists and as visionaries, for what’s better in the human heart and the human soul, could influence citizens everywhere in the world to see the better side of who and what we are as a species.”

“Artists are the flowers of our world. The best ones are those that can stand out from the crowd and create their own concrete garden -- to move us, inspire us, and makes us think hard. A flower with no smell to it is just something to look at. However, a flower that emits a beautiful fragrance is the one we want in our homes and on our walls. Your mission as an artist, is to become the best-smelling flower in the world, so that when the day finally comes when you are plucked from the ground, the world will cry for the loss of your mind-stimulating fragrance. Be different. Be original. Nobody will remember a specific flower in garden loaded with thousands of the same flower, but they will remember the one that managed to change its color to purple. Truth Is Crying, 2008”
