Understanding this quote
The quote contrasts imitation with originality. Copying a teacher’s painting style or repeating ideas that belong to other people is described as easy. The real challenge is to develop and express your own way of seeing. Being yourself therefore requires more than avoiding copies; it means finding thoughts and artistic choices that genuinely come from you.
