Art Quotes By Famous Artists We Need | Miabo Enyadike


Art Quotes By Famous Artists We Need 


"Art is the way I see it, from within me colorful and boundless by no one except me the Artist" - Miabo Enyadike 

This quote of mine was borne out of the experience as an artist with a different mindset, on how to create Art and the messaging involved in the narrative. 


My Art is color driven and boundless there are no affiliations, just me as an artist-driven by the passion to create something.


Abstract Art by miabo enyadike



Whenever critics and patrons alike ask questions about my Art style and its simplistic approach, 'Matisse' quote always comes to mind and it's confirmed further by Picasso's quote which I might think maybe where observations they had and spoke them aloud to their critiques.


Abstract Artist, Miabo Enyadike
                    Abstract Artist, Miabo Enyadike




The quotes by Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso that inspire and encourage me are these ones in particular  "It has bothered me all my life that I do not paint like everybody else". Henri Matisse

"The world doesn't make sense so why should I paint pictures that do." Picasso

"Impressionism is the newspaper of the soul." 
Henri Matisse

And so I end with this Picasso's quote

“When I was a child my mother said to me, 'If you become a soldier, you'll be a general. If you become a monk, you'll be the pope.' Instead, I became a painter and wound up as Picasso.”

These quotes inspire me every time I'm working in my studio, exhibiting or having to defend my work. I know there are Artists out there that need this, enjoy your creativity, they might be masterpieces in the future, I guess Matisse and Picasso are good lessons for us all...Enjoy
