I come from a family that works in arts and crafts. I appreciate the skills of people who carved and I wanted to learn the craft. I was taught to carve in school. After completing secondary school, I had no one to help me continue my education so I undertook a five year apprenticeship where I was taught by three masters.

Today, I teach my own students and I also give courses in several orphanages.'...
