Wild & Wise Sculpture

A Rhinoceros... It is a powerful and exotic animal. It always seamed to me that it came to us from the epoch of dinosaurs. From ancient times it was the symbol of strength, energy, independence and fury. I would always like to depict it in some original way. After I've made a bas-relief portrait of a Lion in the serious of portraits of animals of Big African Five, I decided to choose a Rhinoceros as the next object. Unfortunately there was no Rhinoceros in the Zoo of St.Petersburg. My friends taxidermists helped me again. They have been making the stuffed rhino for one famous hunter and permitted me amiably to make sketches and take photos. And of course I watched a great number of films about wild nature of Africa in order to understand this mysterious animal better. I was so keen on my work that made even two sculptural portraits of this animal. I have read much interesting about Rhinoceros and have known that different nations treated it as the symbol power and might. People provided its horns with miraculous strength. They were able to return health and youth. Working at the sculptural portraits of Rhinoceros, I suddenly noticed that those positive emotions , which I got from my work, if didn't return me youth, but absolutely exactly added me health. Now I am quite sure that positive emotions prolong life. And you, my clients, be sure, if you give shelter to my Rhinos in your houses, you will prolong your life and greatly improve your health.
