Pozval ho na špeciálnu prehliadku výstavy, aby mu ukázal, ako každé dielo rozpráva vlastný príbeh.En: The curator acknowledged Ladislav's talent, even for humor, and invited him to a special tour of the exhibition to show him how each piece tells its own story.Sk: Ladislav, nadšený tou myšlienkou, sa pripojil k malému zhromaždeniu.En: Ladislav, excited by the idea, joined the small gathering.Sk: "Keď pozrieš na tieto sochy, je to všetko otázka pohľadu," vysvetlil kurátor.En: "When you look at these sculptures, it's all a matter of perspective," the curator explained.Sk: "Nepôvodná interpretácia sa môže tiež stať umením."En: "An unconventional interpretation can also become art."Sk: Ladislav si odniesol nielen cenné poznatky o modernej abstrakcii, ale aj nové priateľstvo a skúsenosť vďaka neočakávanej situácii.En: Ladislav left not only with valuable insights into modern abstraction but also with a new ...
