About the artwork

In the object “The Space Around” the author continues the main line of his work. It is devoted to the interaction between a person and the surrounding space, to the study of the specifics of form construction and its perception by our consciousness. On the one hand, this work is characterised by anthropocentrism, it focuses on the image of a person, and on the other hand, human outlines dissolve in the ideal form of a sphere, and with it – in the surrounding environment.

Referring to the counterform, which in sculpture precedes the appearance of the form itself, the author seems to direct his gaze to the inner world and through it looks at the outer world, looks inside the process of creation, slightly pulling back the veil of mystery, but leaving room for guesswork.
