“The expression Localisation des mobiles graphiques, as these works are entitled, appears frequently in Kupka’s theoretic writings, where it is defined as the process of exteriorising a motif that springs from the artist’s inner self and not from the perceived world: “In our inner visions, fragments of images float before our eyes. In order to capture these fragments, we unconsciously trace lines between them and by thus setting up a network of relationships, we arrive at a coherent whole. These lines drawn to organize our visions are like ‘stereoscopic bridges’ from fragments in space.” Paloma Alarcó
