Today, I want to show one of my significant sculptures, "Margo" in bronze.
Fate decreed that it took 30 years to make it.
I suggest paying attention to plastics, as a volume, one form grows from another, eventually turning into one whole, under the definition of SCULPTURE.
My sculptures cannot be viewed from the perspective of plot and literary description, which prevents admiration of the fullness of volume and composition.
In short, the aesthetic value lies in the form itself. The same principle applies to all my work, which defines me as a formalist artist.

Forming of sculpture
This is the process of montage and completion after casting
To drill two precisely aligned holes at 90 degrees on the back of the sculpture, we had to coordinate carefully. The piece was transported to a specialized factory where a precision machine was used for the task. The preparation alone took an entire day—while the actual drilling required just 30 minutes.
To protect the delicate chemical patina, I carefully wrapped the sculpture in protective film, ensuring no surface damage occurred during the process.
I determine the level between the sculpture and the future glass on which Margo will lie at 3 points.
In future, I refused the heavy dark stand.
