Sculpture. “Fairy Tale.” 2013.

Description

The sculpture is inspired by the history and mythology of the cultures of Eurasia. The subject of the work is dedicated to the theme of womanhood-her beauty and grace. The composition and intrigue of the piece are built upon the contrast between the steady movement of a horse and the fierce leap of a snow leopard attacking a fantastical creature-a dragon. The female rider gently holds back the dragon with a soft gesture, as if protecting it.
