Too
many pupils are still unable to see the reality of
volume, unable to transform this reality and
record, introduce it into material.
The idea, that any thing - or, especially, being -
must have its inner order without which it would
collapse, is the principle of sculpting since ages.
This common order may well be interpreted
individually, by each one from a different angle of
view.
 That's
why we must begin approaching our craft by
mastering this 'classic base'. An important task,
that became somewhat unpopular in the last time.
But by succeeding in shaping a figure so that it
lives its inner life, a pupil will have a better
understanding of further things, bigger and
intricate, happening both within a body and outside
it - a better understanding of the order and
meaning of our world and universe.

 I
do not wish to bring up world stars, but human
beings, able to stand up the life on their own.
This means also a certain sort of morale.
I do not suppose that I only wish to tutor just
good craftsmen, which is not bad at all in itself.
Moreover, I rather wish to support wondering and
searching around, curiosity, and first of all the
ability and will to realize what one seeks or has
found.
 The
most important is the ability to look under the
surface of the seen. If one masters to get drawn
into the fantastic play of changes - metamorphosis,
transformations - and present a man, than he is no
more without chances to find his place in the
fantastic and marvelous curve of life.
