Aren't artists supposed to thrive on the creative struggle, battling the world and expressing it through their masterpieces?

I am an artist you know ... it is my right to be odd.

Weirdism is definitely the cornerstone of many an artist's career.

She preferred the quiet solitary atmosphere, to create in her own world of paint and colour, the thrill of anticipating how her works would turn out as she eyed the blank sheets of paper or canvas before starting her next masterpiece. How satisfying it was to mess around in paint gear, without having to worry about spills, starch or frills, that was the life!

There has to be a cut-off somewhere between the freedom of expression and a graphically explicit free-for-all.

Art reveals the inner psyche of the artist. It takes a certain type of hardiness for a creative person to share their works to the public.

...it’s just another one of those things I don’t understand: everyone impresses upon you how unique you are, encouraging you to cultivate your individuality while at the same time trying to squish you and everyone else into the same ridiculous mould. It’s an artist’s right to rebel against the world’s stupidity.

... an artist should paint from the heart, and not always what people expect. Predictability often leads to the dullest work, in my opinion, and we have been bored stiff long enough I think.

While art thrives on the blazing colours of scandal, literature blossoms on the dark soil of tragedy.
