“In my work, I depict familiar things. My inspiration and co-creator is nature itself. With my sculptures, I want to share their beauty, allure, and perfection. Sculpture, for me, is a visual form that I notice in the world of living nature. I create art objects that combine metal and wood, color, and volume. All of my sculptures are unique, hand-carved, and purposely oversized to showcase the intricate detail and beauty of nature’s creations.” — Serhiy Chepel
