"There is nothing that special to see when looking at me. I'm a painter who paints day in day out, from morning till evening - figure pictures and landscapes, more rarely portraits"

Gustav Klimt's quote speaks to the humbleness of his craft. He is a painter who works diligently, day in and day out, to develop stunning artworks. He paints figures, landscapes, and periodically pictures. He does rule out himself to be anything unique, but rather a craftsman who puts in the effort to develop something stunning. His quote speaks with the dedication and commitment he has to his craft. He does not take faster ways or attempt to make himself out to be something he is not. He is simply a painter who strives to create something unique. His quote is a pointer to all of us that effort and devotion can result in something stunning.
