My work in the field of wood sculpture is not limited to specific topics. Taking inspiration from nature and natural forms of trees, I try to constantly find new images, forms and stories, which are hidden in ancient trees.
In ancient Greek mythology, Apollo is the beautiful god of light, a seer, and the patron of arts and crafts. One of his most important attributes was the lyre, whose sounds captivated with their perfection even the fiercest of deities. The sculpture 'Apollo's Lyre' is a modern embodiment of lyrical tranquility and classical harmony.

The "Winged Letter B", the globally recognized logo of Bentley automobiles, symbolizes speed, technical excellence, and the superiority of this legendary brand's cars. The Bentley emblem resembles an ancient occult symbol of a winged solar disc and may have inspired the logo's design. In the 'Sunrise' sculpture, one can discern not just the famous winged logo. By rotating the central part, viewers are greeted with a rising sun adorned with golden rays - symbolizing the light of inspiration, intelligence, and readiness for new achievements.
The sculpture is crafted from a dry oak tree, over 200 years old. The wings are made from the surviving outer part of the oak trunk, and the disc is from a branch cross-section.
Candles are placed on the wings, accentuating the silhouette and visually creating an effect of effortless flight. Like the luxurious Bentley cars, each sculpture is handcrafted, demanding exceptional craftsmanship.

A wild natural force, a living stream, the power of eternal movement – these are the associations evoked by the sculptural composition 'Wild Herd.' The artist's creative imagination transformed a fragment of a wooden trunk, horse figurines found at a flea market, and natural gilded coral into a full-fledged prairie, a distant desert land where graceful wild horses reign. Should one attempt to tame them, or is it better to leave the laws of nature untouched?

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.
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.

The wood's surface has been treated with wax and gilding.
The sculpture "Embrace of Zeus" stands as a powerful testament to the ancient Greek god of the sky, lightning, and thunder. Zeus, revered as the king of all gods, is a central figure in Greek mythology, surrounded by numerous legends. It has been believed since time immemorial that a tree struck by lightning is consecrated, having been marked by Zeus himself, the ruler of the sky, thunder, and the world at large. For centuries, such trees have been worshipped for their supposed ability to bestow strength and health. This work of art emanates an unseen energy, a testament to its divine connection.
