Quite surprisingly Karel only started sculpting in September 2003 at the age of 52 years after a short introduction on working in Stone. Although he grew up in the smell of oil painting he was never before touched by art. Stone, in whatever form is for him the most beautiful material to work in. The limited possibilities of the fragile material lead him to his own artistic boundaries When things go wrong in stone, it is the end of the road. In sculpting he is a self-taught person. Unlike most sculptors, he is only sculpting the inside of his stones, never the outside. In the beginning (from September 2003) he made simple forms as balls, lenses, rings and cubes inside stones. It is his personal view that the original form and integrity of the stone must remain recognizable and intact even after the work is concluded. His work is strongly influenced by Escher, and lately also by one of the world’s leading sculptors Keizo Ushio. As the outside of the stones must remain as intact as possible, it is the end result that dictates the way of going into the stone.
