“In my painting THE IDEA OF A JOURNEY has close thematic links to my whole output.
It is an idea of art. As a MENTAL JOURNEY, of the development of ideas, of discovering new areas of exploration.
Rom 1963 travelling accessories made their appearance in my pictures:
PARCELS (EMBALLAGES)
BAGS
SUITCASES
RUCKSACKS
FIGURES OF ETERNAL WANDERERS.”
