Painting isn't just pretty or pleasant; it is something that helps you to stand alone and face yourself.
Pierre SoulagesIf painting doesn't offer a way to dream and create emotions, then it's not worth it.
Pierre SoulagesBlack ink was always my favorite. I loved it. And then one day I realized that the only thing I ever wanted to do was to paint.
Pierre SoulagesA window looks outside, but a painting should do the opposite - it should look inside of us. When I put them in the middle of the room, I attach the paintings at the top to the ceiling and on the bottom to the floor. I prefer this to just hanging them from the ceiling because it creates a place in a space, like a wall.
