Author's bronze sculpture "Epics"

The sculpture refers to the image of an epic hero — a mighty warrior endowed with physical strength and inner might. The figure is intentionally enlarged in relation to the horse, emphasizing the superhuman scale of the hero and turning him into a collective image of the Russian epic warrior.

The contrast between the hero and the almost toy horse is a deliberate artistic device. The horse here performs an auxiliary role and does not compete with the figure of the rider, but rather emphasizes its greatness. Due to the violation of the usual proportions, the image acquires a monumentality and at the same time a slight irony characteristic of folk art and epics, where the conventionality of reality becomes part of the narrative.

The sculpture is made of bronze and is mounted on a massive pedestal made of stone. Expressive plasticity, large proportions of the figure and dynamics of the composition make it an independent artistic accent associated with the tradition of Russian epics and the idea of a hero endowed with almost mythological power. The edition is 10 items.
