After over 60 years, I finally understood what really fascinated me at the covered vase from Delft at home. On the top there is a parrot pecking a fruit. Between his body, the berry and claw there is a void, so you can interpret this upper part of the vase as a cat’s head, in a kind Daliesque hallucination. When my mother died, I demanded for myself the three vases that impressed me so, as main heritage, whilst not knowing what fascinated me on them. Only now, when I moved the vases to another room, I looked closer and realized the reason for my fascination: the ambiguity of the subject, as you can see it also with Escher’s drawings, who may in turn have looked at Indonesian craft patterns. This is exactly what is arguably the foundation of my vocation as an artist, because from the beginning on it was precisely this possibility of fusion of different motifs to a new and hallucinated that inspired me. Collage finally opened up unprecedented opportunities for me, in the search of a hidden picture which is openly displayed but has to be discovered.

Après plus de 60 ans, j'ai enfin compris ce qui m'a vraiment fasciné par les trois vases couverts en porcelaine de Delft qui se trouvaient chez nous. Le couvercle est formé d’un perroquet becquetant un fruit. Entre son corps, la baie et sa griffe il y a un vide, de sorte que l’on peut interpréter toute cette partie supérieure du vase comme une nouvelle tête de félin, dans une hallucination Daliesque. A la mort de ma mère, je me suis réservé les trois vases qui m’avaient alors si impressionné, comme part principale de mon héritage, en tant que souvenir d’enfance. C’est seulement maintenant, en déplaçant les vases, que je viens de les regarder de plus près et réalisant alors la raison de ma fascination: l'ambiguïté du sujet, comme dans les dessins d’Escher, dont l’inspiration se trouve peut-être dans des motifs indonésiens. Cette hésitation entre deux images est sans doute le fondement de ma vocation d'artiste, car dès le début c'est précisément cette possibilité de fusion de différents motifs dans une nouvelle image hallucinée qui m'a inspiré et poussé à créer. Le collage m’ayant enfin ouvert des possibilités sans précédent dans cette recherche d’une image secrète, qui, quoique bien visible, demande à être découverte.
