The artist's travel to France and his contact with all that Paris could offer in the field of art, including his beloved painters Matisse, Picasso, Braque etc.
and most of all to see Brâncuşi's heritage meant a lot to him.
Traveling via Germany, Olos arrived in Paris with Constantin Noica's recommendations finding accommodation at one of the philosopher's cousins.
Nevertheless, he was lucky to find in Paris the famous historian of religions and writer Mircea Eliade, to whom he had been recommended by Petru Comarnescu some years before, when the critic organized the exhibitions promoting Ţuculescu's paintings in the United States.
Mihai Olos met the most important representatives of the diaspora as introduced to them by Mircea Eliade.
Among them, Emil Cioran, Moninca Lovinescu and Virgil Ierunca, the couple whose programs broadcast by Free Europe or articles in the French or diaspora press were harshly critical as regards the Romanian leader's policy, unmasking the impoverishment of the population, the control of their possessions and income with new trials and imprisonments.
The response to these broadcasts had been the sending of agents to threaten the members of the diaspora and Monica Lovinescu being almost killed in 1977 by a bomb hidden in a package addressed to her.

Among the most important for the artist meetings in Paris had been his discovery of the work of two Romanian philosophers, Ştefan Odobleja – whose Consonantist Psychology in two volumes published in 1938 and 1939 he brought home to study – and Ştefan Lupaşcu whom he visited and whose theories about the psychic system and the importance of contradiction and antagonism, the structure of the system of systems etc.
had a great impact on the artist's thinking.
