In 1950 I started creating monochrome paintings with strips, but I was no longer thinking about the paintings of other artists; the stimulus for my works came from the things that surrounded me, the things I saw, such as the street and pedestrian crossings, the environment and the objects. Subsequently I partly replaced paper strips with rigid wooden strips, as is the case with these red and black paintings, but I was never interested in materials as expressive means.
