“The artist is a receptacle for the emotions that come from all over the place ; from the sky , the earth, the scrap of paper, a passing shape, a spider’s web. The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls. We all know that art is not truth. Art is a lie that makes us realize truth.” – Picasso-
