Firsay Magic Stone (2022) Sculpture by Sergei Safaev

From my earliest childhood, I was enthusiastically engaged in modeling and my first material was plasticine. carried this hobby through adolescence and did not betray him throughout his life. - since plasticine is a very temperature-dependent material, and only many years later my works were placed in boxes and placed in the coldest place in the house. As I got older I started to work on larger projects for creativity and settled on concrete. I began to sculpt from it and strengthen my work with a metal frame. I got carried away with bas-relief, created everything that my imagination could bring me, stone chests, medallions with animal heads, fantasy stone trees, fireplaces, waterfalls, decorative stone bridges in the garden, a font. Last year, I took part in a project to restore the old park and made, at the request of the city, a bas-relief of a balustrade 30 m long and a composition for the preservation of old trees, combining wood and concrete. I plan to connect my life with creativity and I don’t see another way for myself - it’s my life to create something new, the Creative stamp is on me. With my work, I want to say. Stone work should generate warmth and response in the hearts of people. The artist shares his work with people and brings novelty to everyday life, a new look at some very ordinary things and makes them unique and gives this uniqueness to everyone!
