Shape analysis, which I use in the course of my work, allows me not only to read the human figure, but also any object. Paul Cezanne’s approach to the shape that he pointed out, is used and developed by painters and sculptors working in this direction. It is not a dogmatic scheme. The shape is being enriched in the process of the experience accumulation , the play of details is being created, then they are being combined, turning into a single whole. But the basis–trunk–culture remains unchanged. Amazing shapes in the form of large and small volumes, also convexity and concavity resembling the raging sea and the mountains which are so similar to a female figure, are so necessary for my work.
