Quotes from Jacob Collins

I spend so much time in my studio, which can be very dark, so it can begin to feel as if I'm a mole underground.

I love painting still lifes because there's a feeling of musical, flowing experience. The drawing doesn't matter as much - what you're really after is a feeling of clarity and beauty.

Finishing is torture... There's always some newly seen flaw. But the little glimpses of beauty between the anxiety make it worth it.
