Create your own visual style... let it be unique for yourself and yet identifiable for others.
Orson WellesRead
A good artist should be isolated. If he isn't isolated, something is wrong.
Interpretation
What this quote means
An artist often requires solitude to foster creativity and explore their unique vision.
Orson Welles suggests that a genuine artist thrives in isolation, as it allows them to delve deeply into their creative impulses without external distractions or influences. This solitude is essential for self-exploration and originality; if an artist is not experiencing such isolation, it might indicate a disconnection from their authentic self or a dependency on others for validation and inspiration.
