“Inari”

Инари нефрит

In Japanese folklore, the fox, due to its wisdom and long life, is considered the messenger and incarnation of the goddess. For this sculpture, nephrite of a light shade was chosen, emphasizing the plasticity, the rhythm of the lines, and its color transitions became an expressive means in the embodiment of the idea.⠀

Themes from the mythology of the East culture in the work of the master are an artistic reinterpretation of ancient engravings and paintings, as an example, the image of the lord of demons in the recent work “Zhong Kui”.⠀⠀
