The artist told the compiler on 3 June 1962 that his abstract pictures were influenced by the Yugoslav landscape; not however by any particular view or place, but by the character of the soil and the rocks. This is partly an expression of the patriotic attachment which the Yugoslavs feel for their native soil.
