Animalism is one of the most interesting genres in sculpture. It explores animals, their images, habits and how the natural world relates to the world of culture. Animalism is gaining new relevance today, in the age of universal attention to environmental issues. I often turn to the images of wild animals, noticing their aesthetic and deep metaphorical meaning.
The sculpture "Jaguar" captures the essence of this majestic wild cat as it stealthily traverses a tree trunk. Its grace and composure belie an incredible strength, which the jaguar wields with wisdom and intention. This magnificent animal teaches us about the power of grace, strength, and mindful action.
This artwork is crafted from the trunk of a spruce tree, adorned with natural patterns created by bark beetles. The wood's surface is treated with wax and gold leaf, adding an element of refined elegance to the rustic texture. A bronze figure of a jaguar is strategically placed, lending a sense of life and movement to the piece.
This sculpture is not just an artistic representation of a jaguar, but a symbol of nature's inherent beauty and power. It invites viewers to reflect on the lessons we can learn from these noble creatures and the natural world around us.
In the intricate, organic contours shaped by nature itself, one can clearly perceive the form of a mystical fish, gracefully “gliding” through imagined ocean depths. It’s hard to believe that this sculpture was once part of a mighty oak trunk, which withstood the forces of nature for centuries and may have “witnessed” none other than Napoleon Bonaparte.
The interior of the piece is softly illuminated by candlelight, awakening a delicate interplay of shadows and reflections.
This is not merely wood — it is time, frozen in form, transformed into light.
This work is crafted from the outer part of the trunk of an ancient, desiccated oak tree. It symbolizes the interconnectedness of everything in the world and the transition from one state to another. In its utterly natural form, one can discern a whimsical fish. In a crevice, as if in the depth of a scene, branches of gilded corals and candles are placed, mystically illuminating the space. This piece combines all the elements: water through the corals, earth through the wood, fire through the candles, and air, uniting all elements. The wood's surface has been treated with wax and gilding.
The sculpture "Paradise Bird" is a stunning creation, utilizing a cross-section of a dry, centuries-old oak tree with a whimsical shape. Suspended on a nearly invisible line is a delicate, transparent blue figurine of a hummingbird, poised as if frozen in mid-air. The figurine gently rotates, giving the illusion of the bird's graceful, hovering movement.
This artwork captures the ethereal beauty and miraculous agility of the hummingbird, often associated with joy and the beauty of nature. The choice of a transparent blue color adds an element of serenity and lightness, enhancing the feeling of a bird in flight.
The base, being a piece of ancient oak, brings a sense of timelessness and stability to the composition, contrasting with the ethereal and fleeting nature of the bird. This juxtaposition invites contemplation on the harmony between the enduring and the ephemeral in nature.
This piece is crafted from a section of the trunk of an ancient, desiccated oak tree. Its contours and form speak to the interconnectedness of all things in nature.

The shape of the head, the relief, the contours—all of these are nature's design. It's astonishing how such a thing is possible. The surface has been treated with wax and gilding.

A primal force of nature, a living stream, the energy of eternal motion — these are the images evoked by the sculptural composition Wild Herd. The artist transformed a fragment of an ancient oak trunk, horse figurines found in an antique shop, and natural gilded coral into a vivid vision of an endless prairie, a distant land where a herd of wild horses rushes freely. Should one attempt to tame them, or is it better to leave the laws of nature untouched?
