He's in this country because his studio in Kiev was destroyed within an hour of the Russian invasion. 

He's now living in Kingston - with his wife and daughter - while his two sons are fighting in the war with Russia. 

He's also working in a new studio and looking for new opportunities to exhibit his sculptures

Below you can see some of his sculptures in Kiev - as they were before he left.

Bio and social media details are listed at the end of this post.

 

There are many sculptures "on a rope". In almost all cases, balance is achieved by the fact that some part of the sculpture is below the rope and is heavier than the upper one. As an example, at least my Cherkasy sculpture "High Note" (violinist). Here is another solution. "The balance", 2013 bronze, steel, height-6m
