Prentbriefkaart aan Philip Zilcken Possibly 1911 - 1923

This postcard to Philip Zilcken was written by Vittorio Pica in 1911. It’s pretty incredible how just a few words written in light blue ink can still speak to us across time and space. I'm curious, what might Pica have been thinking when he sent this? It’s like a little performance, sending a thought across the world. You have to really commit and trust that the work, in this case the postcard, will be received and understood. And it's so simple, right? Just ink on paper, but it's also about touch, like a painter's brushstroke. Each word is a gesture, loaded with intention and emotion. It's about connection. We're all just trying to reach each other, like one big conversation across centuries, responding to what came before and paving the way for what comes next. Painting, writing, it's all part of the same messy, beautiful human endeavor.
