The memory of those who fell in the struggle against fascism is captured in granite and bronze of the stern in its spirit of the memorial of the Soviet-Polish combat community, Belarus. Compositionally more complex, agreed in all their components with the landscape environment, are monuments to the heroes of the Civil and Great Patriotic Wars, built in the years in Novorossiysk, on the land on which, according to the sculptor, during the war he received military baptism.

The memory will excite the soul, ”he says. The fascinating beauty of the southern landscape: sky, sea, mountains - according to the law of contrast, double the powerful energy of the exposure to plastic images of the memorial complex. On the site of the former Mauthausen concentration camp in Austria, in the spring of the year, on International Prisoners, V.

Each of them is preceded by a drawing as an independent work of art. A new attempt to comprehend your era in the images of ancient and modern history, mythological and religious led the sculptor to another dominant testifying to the tragic notes in its attitude.

The author interprets these images psychological terms, striving for their emotional saturation, while increasing their allegory, metaphoricality. The successful solution to the problem of space and the dynamics of the human figure contained in it - flying, falling, running, the ability to outline the landscape environment with the help of a tiny part and “spiritualize” it, the use of the effects of the light -legged nuance in the processing of plastic form - all this characterizes the rich fine language of the new cycle of the artist.
