After seeing a faceted sculpture design made from folded paper one day, welder Andrei Kazantsev decided to try his hand at making his own sculptures using the material he works best with: folded steel.
Using a press that allows him to do precut shapes from sheet metal, he later folds them. Andrei manufactures parts for each of his sculptures, and later on he assembles them together into one piece. A final soldering phase allows his creations to take their final form.
All of his sculptures revolve around the same main idea—animals, whether it would be domesticated animals such as cats and dogs, or wild animals such as rhinos, eagles, etc.
Due to the positive public response and wide sales success of his sculptures, Kazantsev was able to quit his day job to focus on making more metallic mammals.
