"I greatly admire
practical and aesthetic objects, the works of old masters
and the atmosphere of Gothic cathedrals.
I derive a great deal of enjoyment from my profession and work and
find it
highly interesting, providing me with lots of surprising moments.
I am fascinated by the precious white metal, silver. Countless possibilities
of shaping it fill me with the feeling of freedom. Adoring silver.
I give it my everything to multiply its beauty.
I love peaceful surroundings, beautiful landscapes, sunny days and
the golden wine from Svaty Jur, Muller Thurgau".
