"I liked drawing and I had a passion for sculpture, after all goldsmithing is nothing but a miniature sculpture."

"I started with an idea that I had in mind and then I looked for the right technique to make it happen."

"After three years spent in a small goldsmith factory, I had nothing left to learn. A colleague who was looking for a new job as goldsmith, tells me: look I went to a small shop, figured that they do not even use the electric drill, but they make holes with bows, like the primitives. I understood that this was the place for me."
