I use various materials for creating these beautiful sculptures: polymer clay, paper-mache, acrylic paints, glass, and stones. Each Zyabra is a unique artwork.
Since childhood, I have loved to draw and create something interesting with my own hands. But my parents were against my hobbies, so I was able to do creative work only at the age of 18. I started painting, then I started sewing toys.
The first Zyabras appeared in 2010. They were sewn from felt and various other fabrics. Then for about a year, I was felting wool toys. But I very quickly wanted to experiment with other materials and I started sculpting. At first, it was papier-mâché, then polymer clay. I still love working with polymer clay the most. This is a very interesting material that gives a lot of variety for creativity.
My favorite thing is to paint my figurines with acrylics. This is a difficult but very interesting stage! Now my works have begun to be massively forged, but I make my works only in a single copy or in a limited edition. Creativity is the meaning of my life and in every work a piece of my soul.
