The artist admits that he often draws inspiration from travel. “Every time we visit another place in Europe, on our way home, we steal, we take something important to us with us, leaving something of ourselves behind. Europe can be hijacked in different ways, and each of us does. enriching himself with culture, knowing foreign lands as a guest, bringing with him a piece of other cultures and continuing to live his own, but already different, life. Well, I already know what the Colosseum, the Louvre, the oysters are, what a good coffee, how the roaring water of the Venetian canals sounds and what a vagabond camp near Naples looks like “, said the artist about his kidnapped Europe.
