“What is a sheet of copper? “There’s a huge scope of possibilities!”
ART CARD: “FANTASER” IN METAL…
STROKES TO THE PORTRAIT:
"The Sorceress of Copper." From the dynasty of “wizards” Didkovsky. He knows how to “fantasize” and turn cold metal into “live”. She loves the complexities of “unwomanly work” and steampunk as a style that gives dignity to objects. Although he has his own - imaginative, original, masterful... In the “collection” of experiences: drawing and modeling, “special training in metal”, practice “in the role” of an artist-jeweler. Everything he undertakes in art and life is equally unique, expressive and stylish. But the main thing is subtly noticed...
It is precisely for this - personal and subtle - “priceless observation” that connoisseurs from different countries prefer to “keep” the sculptor’s work in their homes - in America, Germany, Belgium, Poland, Israel, the United Arab Emirates.
In a word, not only smart and beautiful, but also a serious “metalworker” sculptor!
Habitat: Kyiv
About himself and creativity: “A person is confirmed by his actions! Why copper soldering? “Unlike traditional cast sculptures, objects soldered live from sheet copper are never repeated.”
ART PROFILE: sculpture of small forms. Range: from tabletop, “mini-masterpieces” - to interior “maxi”.
Features of individual handwriting - fantasy soldering. Steampunk, steampunk with elements of lyrics (from the English steam - “steam” + punk - “protest”, “conflict” - a genre of science fiction).
...Twisted filigree patterns, tiny “folds”, rounded bends of thin sheet metal, reflections of light on polished surfaces, etc. – everything to realize an unexpected burst of imagination. Favorite heroes grow and “multiply” like beloved children: heroes of myths, legends, folk tales, stories, saints, gods... It seems that for the author there is no greater joy than to continue to extract beauty from copper and give it a magical techno “sound” .
Favorite materials are copper, brass. Soldering elements with hard solders - from metals of different colors, in combination with colored glass, stone, wood.
The defining theme is fantasy. "Imagery" of images.
Dream: “Receive any textures – even the most unexpected ones... Fantasize for yourself, delighting others”
