Over time Volar acquired remarkable craft skills by processing the brittle, hard material stone. He is not interested in trying to defeat the stone or to from (or deform) it into his own will - Volars respect for natural creation is too big - he strives to release the invisible life and the immanent forms of the stone. "The stone comes up to me, and tells me what it wants to be" is one of his creative maxims. Consequently, the natural structure of the material is stressed in the objects more than in the traditional sense of figured objects, which are rarely found in Volars work.
