"The experience with artistic tapestry convinced me that creative ideas come into being during work in studio, that the material inspires the final work.
I have learned in the stained-glass studio that enchantment over color and glass texture stimulates monumental composition, and one's task is to make the utmost creative effort at every stage of making stained-glass.
I make stained-glass in four stages. A design is only painter's vision. Rich drawing with lead makes compact, rigorous construction. The choice of every piece of glass is decided upon intuition and experience. The painting of colored glass with metal oxides is the skill of covering of some of its parts in order to obtain deep tone and strong color. These four stages together give the final form of stained-glass which artist achieves during realization. In the work so understood a dividing line between artist and artisan becomes obliterated."
