"抽象芸術など存在しない。何かから始めなければならない。その後で、現実の全ての痕跡を消去できる。"

Pablo Picasso

Simplified Meaning:

Creating art always begins with something real as the starting point. Even abstract art, which looks unrealistic, has to come from something actual like a person, an object, or a scene. Imagine an artist drawing a simple, everyday item like a chair. Over time, they might change or simplify the drawing to the point where it no longer looks like a chair at all. However, the initial idea of the chair is still there, even if you can’t see it anymore. This means that to make abstract art, an artist must first observe and understand real things before they can transform them into something abstract. If you're trying to create something new or think outside the box, look at real examples around you as a foundation, then feel free to get imaginative and make it your own.
