Frequently Asked Questions

What do these Artist quotes explore?
These quotes look at what it means to be an artist to the core — using talent to elevate humanity, drawing inspiration from visual artists, and training both eye and soul. For more on the craft itself, see our Art collection.
Is there a quote about using art to elevate humanity?
Yes — one quote says, "I'm an artist to the core. And my objective has always been to use my talents and my skills to elevate humanity through my art."
How does a choreographer's process connect to visual art here?
One quote explains starting not with music but with a visual artist, then finding music that fits that visual artist's world — a reminder that inspiration doesn't have to follow the usual order. This creative, unconventional way of being an artist is explored further in our Being collection.
Is there a quote about training beyond just technical skill?
Yes — one quote states simply, "The artist must train not only his eye but also his soul."
What does the 'color is the keyboard' quote mean?
One quote compares creation to music: "Color is the keyboard, the eyes are the harmonies, the soul is the piano with many strings. The artist is the hand that plays, touching one key or another, to cause vibrations in the soul." It's a poetic way of describing how an artist channels feeling into form. If you like exploring identity through creative work, our I Am collection covers similar ground.
