To accentuate the sculpture's natural appeal and to mimic the texture of the insect's chitinous exoskeleton, a matte lacquer was meticulously applied. The result is an uncanny resemblance to the very surface that characterizes the praying mantis, imparting the sculpture with a lifelike quality that is truly astonishing.
This exquisite work of art, created in the surrealism style, originated in the vibrant city of Kharkiv in the year 2023. It beautifully marries artistic innovation with traditional craftsmanship, delivering a piece that not only celebrates the elegance and wonder of nature but also showcases the limitless creativity of the human imagination.

I've been immersed in the art of crafting wooden sculptures for as long as my memory reaches. However, when the storm of war descended upon Ukraine, sculpting became more than a ion; it became my refuge from the stress and relentless barrage of war-related news. It was during this tumultuous period that a revelation struck - I could leave behind the undesired trappings of conventional work and forge a livelihood out of doing what I truly love.
This realization brought about a fundamental shift in my perspective. While my creations had always been crafted with care for friends, family, and those dear to me, the idea of selling my works to a broader audience had never been a priority. Each piece, whether initially intended for a specific person as a talisman or created with a sense of patience, waited years or even decades to find its destined owner.
About half of my works have been brought into existence in the aftermath of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, serving as both a testament to resilience and a means of processing the challenging times. Amidst ongoing creation, there are still sculptures in progress, capturing the evolving essence of my artistic journey.
Fortuitously, my art found a platform on Artmajeur, prompting me to the ranks of artists worldwide. Now, I embark on this global artistic venture, sharing my wooden sculptures with the world, each piece carrying not just my craft but the unique story of survival and creativity born from adversity.
