"— Is it very difficult to paint pictures?
"It's either easy or impossible," replied Salvador Dalí.

Painting always stands on one side of this polarity. It does not submit to effort and does not result from mastery alone — it either happens, or it does not happen.
Ancient painting embodies this state in a particular purity. It has traversed time—and it has remained, affirming its self-evidence. It has preserved not only the image, but also the force with which it was created—that lightness of which Dalí spoke, thanks to which it was born.
A painting in an interior is not decoration. It is a trace of inspiration, multiplied by time.
