QUOTES OF AN ARTIST!!!

I have a Social Disease. I have to go out every night. If I stay home one night I start spreading rumors to my dogs.
By..........?

I was born to find my own way in life. So far I am on a breaking point between failure and success.
Lesny JN Felix

I have no control over success except for failure.
Lesny JN Felix

I'd ask around 10 or 15 people for suggestions. Finally one lady friend asked the right question, 'Well, what do you love most?' That's how I started painting money.
By..........?

Before I found myself, I had to search my peers with the same interest. Since then, I realized that they had influenced me to become an artist. If I fail it's on me. If I succeed it's because of them.
Lesny JN Felix

I've decided something: Commercial things really do stink. As soon as it becomes commercial for a mass market it really stinks.
By..........?

I've come to understand that you are no-one to those who are oblivious and
just another person to those who have a clue. Once you become commercialized
everyone wants a piece of you and your assets.
Lesny JN Felix

Isn't life a series of images that change as they repeat themselves?
By..........?

Isn't life a series of changes that re-invent and evolve oneself to become what you think you should be?
Lesny JN Felix



Land really is the best art.
By..........?

Darkness is an interesting canvas for art; Heaven is a luxurious reward from the creator.
Lesny JN Felix

Making money is art and working is art and good business is the best art.
By..........?


They say time changes things, but isn't it all of us who are making the changes together simultaneously?.
By..........? Or, They say time changes us? Does that mean we are a part of time if we decide to change?

I have Social Disease. I have to go out every night. If I stay home one night I start spreading rumors to my dogs.
By..........?

I have a Social Disease. I am a Voyeur, obsessed with the unscripted performances of people in a natural, socially fun environment.
Lesny JN Felix

Action is the foundational key to all success.
By..........?

Ah, good taste! What a dreadful thing! Taste is the enemy of creativeness.
By..........?

Art is a lie that makes us realize truth.
By..........?

Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.
By..........?


Bad artists copy. Good artists steal.
Pablo Picasso

All of us are born smart and creative. Being original is real. Not pleasing those who think you are good. You are connecting the dots of one who's dead and famous to one who's living and poor.
Lesny JN Felix

Colors, like features, follow the changes of the emotions.
By..........?

Colors are extremely sensitive. To feature all of them together effectively is to place them at the right place on your surface. Like a chess game.
Lesny JN Felix


Computers are useless. They can only give you answers.
By..........?

Computers are a copyright violation of ones creation. It's like a double whammy or catch 22.
Lesny JN Felix

Every act of creation is first an act of destruction.
By..........?


Every positive value has its price in negative terms... the genius of Einstein leads to Hiroshima.
By..........?

The genius of Einstein leads to fear; fear of mass destruction which is an art of itself.
Art of Terror.
Lesny JN Felix.

Everything you can imagine is real.
By..........?


Everything you doubt is fear. Fear is accepting the possibility of failure.
Lesny JN Felix


Give me a museum and I'll fill it.
By..........?

Give me a group of artists and I'll show you my taste.
Lesny JN Felix

God is really only another artist. He invented the giraffe, the elephant and the cat. He has no real style, He just goes on trying other things.
By..........?


He can who thinks he can, and he can't who thinks he can't. This is an inexorable, indisputable law.
By..........?


I am always doing that which I cannot do, in order that I may learn how to do it.
By..........?


I put no thoughts and envy toward one's work, but appreciation for one's work of being original. Raw originality, is to tap into your inner creativeness instead of the outer.
Lesny JN Felix


I begin with an idea and then it becomes something else.
By..........?

I do not seek. I find.
By..........?

I paint objects as I think them, not as I see them.
By..........?

Inspiration exists, but it has to find us working.
By..........?

We all know that art is not truth. Art is a lie that makes us realize the truth.
By..........?


The world today doesn't make sense, so why should I paint pictures that do?
By..........?


I don't paint to live, I live to paint.
By..........?


Once I found myself, I become an experiment in progress. I found my soul and I instantly became an artist. Or... I found my soul and art followed..........
Lesny JN Felix


The trouble with being poor is that it takes up all of your time.
By..........?


I make pictures and someone comes in and calls it art.
By..........?


Whomever wants to know me, should look intensely at my paintings. There is where you will find me......
By..........?


You'll know me, by my surface expression. You'll understand me, through my different mediums You'll appreciate me by thinking I am an originalist. You'll please me by supporting my work.
Lesny JN Felix


True relaxation, which would do me the world of good, does not exist for me.
By..........?

Self relaxation is knowing I have created more from less.
Lesny JN Felix


There is no self-portrait of me.
By..........?


There is no need to paint my self-image. Only to paint my feelings of pain and joy, true realism.
Lesny JN Felix


I can paint and draw. I believe this myself and a few other people say that they believe this too. But I'm not certain of whether it's true.
By..........?


I can't paint or draw, self-taught, circumstances gave me the ability to paint and draw without being professionally taught.
Lesny JN Felix

I am prepared for all eventualities with my work which is indeed very agreeable.
By..........?


All art is erotic.
By..........?

The beauty of erotic painting is appreciation, caring about what was created. It's not about sales but an appreciation of our past and present.
Lesny JN Felix

A patron of the arts is someone who believes that humanity will gain from your artistic presence. Not for wealth but for priceless values.
Lesny JN Felix

In an effort to change my country's history, I need to crush my ego and allow others have a say, a point of view. Produce great things together, without being the one to receive the credit. The whole should share the credit.
Lesny JN Felix

To end poverty is to give those without from those who have unprecedented wealth of land and assets, which they will never use in one lifetime. and of course, hand out alot of condoms to those who ar epoor and keep having children and starving them...
