The artist’s easel works are executed in a complicated mixed medium (wood, ceramics, metal, textile fabrics).  His series “The Books of the Bible” is devoted to  eternal topics of the good and evil, the sculptor has interpreted the Biblical themes in his own manner and destroyed fixed notions and stereotypes. The exposition also includes works from his series “Reportage on the Moscow Intelligentsia in the Time of Restructuring” and “Sweet Europe” (“Spain”, “France”, England”).

 

“My credo: life is so interesting, that an attempt to hold it just a little in my works is already a great happiness. Delighted with it, I work as I can. And I am also sure, that each ecstasy is God’s gift” – Daniel Mitlyanski.
