-Father,coming from an old butchers-tradition ,decided otherwise by providing his Son  a solid and secure trade,no question about it!so be it, After several years of learning and hard labor .Van Dansik said"When my Father decided not to send me to the Academy of Art,at that time.I was very sad and angry,but at present,Im so grateful he didnt,the lessons  I have learned,individually ,by analyzing and studying,one can not learn  it at the Academy! ,The Great and famous Englisch Painter -

George Stubbs,was excellent example for me,George Stubbs used to take dead Horse into his Studio and studied its anatomy! I could understand why he did so,It has been very essential for me to learn the structures and the function of all the bones,muscles and what made the possible movements of this wonderfull Creature! 

Being an autodidact van Dansik learned the hard way!  He made it possible by discovering his own technics and inventing his own style,in addition other great classical Artist  such as Rodin and Mene were of import influence,Since  had started  in the early eightys.van Dansik has produced over thirty bronze Horse editions from desksize sculptures to life-size statues.
