Catching Artemida’s sacred hind was the fourth Hercules’ labour that he must accomplish on his way to obtaining immortality. The wonderful hind is swift as the wind and knows no fatigue – the demigod has spent a whole year trying to catch the mythical creature. The hero is overtaken by fury and despair, and his nature is getting inflamed with animal spirits as each day passes in vain. The sculpture demonstrates the decisive moment of this long year of an endless chase when the nature of a hunter overcomes Hercules at the sight of the prey and the long-awaited victory. Lion’s mask and skin covering the hero’s shoulders blur the line between a man and an animal. The composition serves to demonstrate a lion first, while only by looking under the mask can a viewer recognize a human face distorted with fury. More of my works are presented at my personal page: Welcome!

I have been a professional sculptor for most of my life. Most of my works are dedicated to historical or mythological images and personalities, which is an eternal topic reinterpreted from generation to generation. My soul is often touched by depth of nature and wildlife, with wonderful relationships often much closer to our feelings than meets the eye. I am deeply convinced that a piece of art must give aesthetic pleasure to the viewer, inspire and let him or her experience the beauty of the world independently from the selected topic. In any work I devote much attention to its plastic component: aesthetics and dynamics of the composition, the harmony of visual rhythms. The composition lies at the core, allowing to convey the feeling and mood of sculpture. At the same time the viewer can always find a lot of details catching the eye and inviting to examine, while in some of my works decorative elements can reveal the whole story. You can examine my works in more detail at my personal web-page. These include decorative reliefs for home and full-scale classical figurative art, as well as some experiments with colored animalistic sculptures: Welcome!
