Artist Statement
Life is a dialog.
Dialog with oneself as well as the others.
School is also a place of a dialog.
Dominik Biman School is open to everybody.
It does not require specialist skills.
On the contrary, beginners have a favourable position.
They are not bound by their profession.
Zen drawing which is beyond our control discovers
our innermost contents.
It transforms reality into abstractions which are
ideal starting points for compositions of engraving projects.
They are a step forward on one's own journey.
We understand the wisdom that to be able not to know
is the biggest art of all.
We do not strive for perfection.
By engraving we leave traces. Traces of ourselves.
We get inspired by the oldest art.
Prehistorical rock engravings are closer to our contemporary
artistic views than the classical art.
Other manifestations of primary art of Australia,
Africa and Oceania as well as folk art belong
to the most precious heritage.
The task of a teacher is to bring closer the most valuable,
to discover the worthful.

Dedíctví znamená vybírat to njcennejší z historie a predávat to další generaci.

Heritage means to select the most valuable from the history and hand it over to next generation.
