Sculptural Forms and Woven Narratives in Contemporary Art

Shape analysis, which I use in the course of my work, allows me not only to read the human figure, but also any object. Paul Cézanne’s approach to shape is used and developed by painters and sculptors working in this direction. It is not a dogmatic scheme. The shape is enriched as experience accumulates: the play of details is created, then the details are combined into a single whole. But the basis — the trunk, culture — remains unchanged. Amazing shapes in the form of large and small volumes, convexity and concavity resembling the raging sea and the mountains, which are so similar to a female figure, are so necessary for my work.

My Artwork

Large bronze sculpture “The Fall and Rise of People Throughout the History”: a falling man and a horse, standing on a round red stone base in a park with palm trees.

SculptureInspired by mountains and sea, my works move between figuration and abstraction, offering space for personal reflection.

Grey-toned tapestry “Sculptor among agaves”: a man with a hand on a headless female statue, a large agave plant in a stone urn, and a nude woman on the right.

TapestryEach woven image carries a sculptural clarity and palpable volume — figures seem to emerge from the fabric, full of presence and motion.

Gouache painting “Cold Grodno”: a street in grey and white tones with bare, twisted trees along the left and low houses on the right, under a bright, cold sky.

PaintingLight, memory, and movement — captured in color.

Silk painting “Magnolias in a crystal vase”: grey-white magnolia flowers with gold-flecked buds in a dark stemmed vase, with shells below, stretched in a metal frame.

SilkIn these works, myth and memory unfold in flowing lines, each brushstroke guided by intuition and reverence for the ephemeral.

Silver ring “Dzhemal”: a round engraved top with geometric signs, gold edging and small stones; the inner side shows a small cross, shown on red.

Miniature Forms & Precious MaterialsThis ongoing series explores the intersection of sculpture and jewelry, where the form is distilled into an intimate, wearable scale.

Drawing “Olive tree”: a gnarled olive trunk with bare branches and stones at its foot, in black lines with white highlights on brown paper.

DrawingA tribute to the landscapes that speak without words.

Damascus steel composition “ATAMUNI”: a knife with a rippled blade and a handle bearing a row of small wedge-shaped signs, on a dark cloth.
