This composition was made applying the technique of relief carving and cut carving. The dimentional effect is achieved thanks to the figures of the animals which are made of wood as separate sculptures.
This composition of a wood grouse and a dog (laika) carved on a moose antler is an example of mixed carving technique. The figure of the wood grouse stands out carved in the antler and the figure of the dog is an additional element, a sculpture carved in wood.
Have you ever had this feeling, this fleeting sensation when wandering in the woods all alone in fragile autumn silence, or when darkness is gradually falling down and sounds dying away….that now you look up to see in front of you a pair of eyes looking intently right at you, ears alert, the front paw trembling expectantly raised in the air…and the same suddenly the grey image is fading away, blending and merging with the landscape.
This carving is devoted to this grey beholder of the forest, the Wolf.
Было ли у вас когда-нибудь такое чувство, такое мимолетное ощущение, когда вы бродите в одиночестве по лесу, в хрупкой осенней тишине, или когда постепенно сгущается тьма, и звуки замирают - вы поднимаете глаза и видите перед собой пару глаз, пристально смотрящих прямо на вас, уши настороже, передняя лапа, дрожа, выжидательно поднята. И так же внезапно этот серый образ расплывается, сливаясь с пейзажем.
