"Seaman" Collage

As a child, before I ever entered a gallery or any art exhibition at all, I came to a sculpture studio. It was loaded with many pleasant sensations, smells and the atmosphere. Later I realized that this was a sense of creative space. Whenever I work, I feel like I'm in this studio from my childhood. When work is going well, these feelings from the past come back with a sense of satisfaction and ease, overshadowing physical and mental fatigue. My favorite materials are stone, iron and wood. They generate an infinite amount of three-dimensional ideas in different directions - from purely figurative to landmark forms. Every idea is important for me. While working on my sculptures, time stops, space disappears and I'm in my world, where I feel the freedom of thought and satisfaction.
