There are a lot things that have been said about creativity, art and a true artist. But there is one thing that makes most sense to me, that art doesn't have to make sense.

Few days back while writing an article about an artist, I came up with a line, "Imagination will take you anywhere and creativity can take you everywhere."

I don't know it makes sense, but then again...does it have to?

We are all very fond of reading and sharing inspirational, motivational and thought provoking quotes, few months back we shared motivational quotes for business owners which were mostly by business owners. But today I feel artistic, therefore I would like to share some inspirational words from artists...for artists.
