Evgeny Antufiev

wood, amber, color, textile, embroidery, plastic, beads, brass, copper

Evgeny Antufiev's work presents a richly layered assemblage of organic and synthetic materials, weaving together wood, amber, textile, and embroidery alongside plastic, beads, brass, and copper into a ceremonial yet enigmatic object. The piece draws on archaic craft traditions and ritualistic aesthetics, blurring the boundary between primitive talisman and contemporary sculpture. Its title, enumerating the very materials from which it is constructed, invites the viewer to contemplate the transformative alchemy of combining the natural and the artificial.
