40b-TRAVEL STAMPS
Who in his life hasn’t been tempted at least once to collect stamps? I’m not talking about young people, who are interested in other things, but rather about us who are more mature and now elderly. As a child I tried to collect stamps. It seems like collating stickers but unlike it they seem to be a very serious thing. The stamps retain the charm of distant places, the graphic richness of paper money but with a lot of extra imagination and graphic skill. Those who love everything that is visual art cannot help but feel the charm they emanate. These drawings were born by chance and while I was experimenting with old planes I came up with the idea of planes travelling to many strange places. I tried to preserve the graphic aspect of the stamps but without the numerical value or the country. All I needed was the look which I find fascinating like all things collectable.
