I created this life-size portrait as a commission from a friend. The sculpting took about eight 2-hour sittings. It’s executed in clay, fired, and painted to achieve a faux bronze look. It also has a wax coating for protection, giving a pleasant leathery feel when touched.
This sculpture has been inspired by an ongoing discussion, in both philosophy and in many religious practices, on the subject of self. When do we become aware of 'self'? What is the true 'I'? We certainly have little or no sense of self when we are asleep, do we obtain it back when we wake up?
In my view, we are oneness with the world around us, yet we go about our day with a complete conviction of ourselves being separate beings. Once we start paying attention via meditation we notice that the borders between us and the world blur and disappear in a state of tranquility.
This is my second sculpture version on the subject of self-illusion.
This sculpture is cast in hydrostone, hand polished, primed, painted, and varnished to achieve the satin effect.
This artwork has been selected as a finalist in the representational sculpture category at the American Art Awards.
Size (with stone base): 41 H x 30 W x 21 cm

Human feet are very complex and are not easy to sculpt. Many people are fascinated by human feet. Feet, like hands, can tell a story about someone's life. This work is my attempt at tackling this part of the human body expressively - a beautiful athletic male foot.
This foot is cast in a special hard plaster, hand polished, painted in such a way to achieve a gradient of colour, varnished with a satin finish, and mounted on a stone base. Size (with stone base): 39 H x 13 W x 13 cm

My sculpting journey began with a model of the posterior and pelvic area of the male body. Many years later I decided to repeat this miniature sculpture as a reflection on my artistic journey. This sculpture is inspired by the physique of a male ballet dancer.
Limited edition of 60 (all three color options combined).
It's made in a classical-contemporary style. The piece is a solid cast of special casting plaster, hand-polished, gilded with gold leaf, (or painted in red or black), and sealed with three coats of gloss varnish to protect the surface for many years. The sculpture is mounted on a 10x10 cm natural marble base, which is also polished. The height of the artwork is 18 cm (with the marble base)
It can serve as a perfect gift for someone who appreciates male physique and beauty. It will attract attention as a small sculpture complementing decoration at home, be it on a tabletop or a bookshelf.
Please contact me if interested.
