In works performed in bronze, the author preserves the traditions of realistic sculpture and figurative plastics, but at the same time transforms this knowledge in search of his style and path in art.

It is inherent in the search for the ideal form,

the harmonious union of the spiritual image and external content.

In the monumental works of the sculptor, executed mainly in stone,

there are traces of avoiding figurativeness.

He solves the problems of space with formal,

abstract volumes and tends to conceptual thinking.

Works are in the collections of the Museum of Contemporary Fine Arts of Belarus, Memorial Museum-workshop of Z.I. Azgur, Pedvale Open Air, Museum, Latvia, National Art Museum of Shanxi Province, China,  Hualien County Stone Sculptural Museum, Hualien, Taiwan, Uttarayan Art Foundation, Jaspur, Baroda, Gujrat, India, Kanu Nayak Art Foundation,Mumbai, India.
