Self-Deception Sculpture

I'm a Russian artist and sculptor from St. Petersburg. The hobby of metal sculpting for me began in 2006 when i first tried welding random scrap metal objects in my garage with a transformer; since then, the hobby has become a passion and a life-long endeavor. My work is inspired by the industrial, post-apocalyptic energy of abandoned cities and industrial zones. Gloomy and alienating at first glance, my works reveal humanistic ideas of the best human aspirations. I defines my works as the unity of three large-scale phenomena: material, technology, and the power of thought. Metal, which has been mined by man since ancient times and is the foundation of form, becomes, at this point, a unity of three large-scale phenomena: the material and the power of thought.
