Description of the Artwork “Petrified king”
A lion chained in stone. The lion's relief has been reflected in art that dates back to the Paleolithic era. Voluminous works were widely appreciated in ancient times. Images of the king of beasts even in the era of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome, Persia, Assyria and Ancient India adorned temples, castles and houses of the ruling nobility. A relief work that will not let go unnoticed. The power and volume, but at the same time the flexibility and reality of the object, fascinates and amazes the viewer. An unusually lively and soulful expression of his gaze, his gaze is serious and even formidable. The dynamics, the desperate tension of the figure, the drama, the struggle for freedom are impressive, one can feel a certain tension and energy emanating fr om within the relief. We managed to create a harmonious image, very impressive and symbolic. In different religions and among many peoples of the world, the lion symbol sounds like a defender of the law, spiritual zeal, a symbol of courage, greatness and wisdom, fertility and patronage. It feels like a cold and hard stone has captured the mighty king of beasts. Wh ere the great skill of the creator realistically conveys all the smallest details of natural stone, massive and heavy. Another symbol of this work - the Stone - is a symbol of glory and constancy, stability and durability, warns against disputes and disagreements. The glitter of captivating gold, like a stream flowing in the cracks of a stone block, serves as a golden chain that restrains the powerful impulse of the beast. And also serves as a symbol of immutability and constancy, purity and dignity, royalty and strength, wealth and abundance, love and fertility. The work has acquired an ironic and at the same time philosophical meaning.

Already in high school, a children's art school was opened in the village, wh ere I went to study. There he learned the basics of fine arts. The environment, the extraordinary beauty of the BAM nature, the immense taiga and the beauty of the snowy mountains of northern Baikal also influenced creativity.
