Monumental Sculpture Training & 17+ Years of Practice

Viktor trained in monumental sculpture at the Stroganov Moscow State Academy of Arts and Industry — one of Russia's most demanding programs in sculptural fabrication. His practice spans 17+ years and more than 250 completed commissions, developed through a method that integrates classical anatomical study, full-cycle foundry work, and sustained engagement with animal subjects rooted in his Siberian upbringing. Over 100 exhibitions document this practice.
