Probably the most ingenious sculptor since Bernini himself, to make marble in the undeniable likeness to flesh is true talent. Of course there are differences between your father focussing a trade on you at age four and using modern technologies. Still it is amazing that instead of making a small scale model and just work on a giant pice of marble you would in this day in age; make a scale clay sculpture, make a mold of that sculpture, cast that sculpture in plaster, then use that plaster sculpture as a guide to carve your marble.
