THIN LINE is the first book wherein I try to explain and touch on the essence of my new discoveries in the field of sculpture. This period is based on and related to my previous intentions, drawings and pictures. Several years ago a friend of mine was looking at one of my paintings and
asked me: “ Why do you have such smooth finish and clean lines in your paintings? “ He emphasized that in sculpture applying such values would be a manifestation of bad taste.
