Carving organic textures. Using my handmade tool to carve each fine line, one by one.🍄
Working on a new piece. Starting by sculpting the individual parts.
Plant Medusa sculpture photographed against a dark background, showing a plant-like female figure with bark-textured skin, twisted vines, moss, and a tree-root base, standing quietly like a rooted tree.
Clay sculpture of “Plant Medusa,” a creature fused with wood, moss, and serpents, shown from multiple angles on a workbench. The surface is covered with layered moss, roots, and organic textures, with dark resin details around the face and tail. Black tears flow from her eyes, giving her an expression that mixes sorrow and anger. The sculpture has a weathered, tree-like body and a quiet, lifelike presence, as if it had rested deep in a forest for a long time.

Painted sculpture of “Plant Medusa,” showing layered earthy tones and mossy textures. The surface resembles aged wood and stone, with subtle color variations that create a weathered, organic appearance.
Inking process of the “Plant Medusa” sculpture, with dark washes settling into carved bark-like textures to enhance depth and shadows.
Base painting process of the sculpture “Plant Medusa.” The surface shows layered brushwork that settles into the carved wood-like texture, creating the first sense of organic depth. Subtle gradients of warm and cool tones define the bark structure while keeping the natural irregularities. This stage sets the foundation for the following layers—moss, preserved plants, and color powder—which will add realism, age, and the feeling of a creature grown within the forest. Hands and tools in the frame show the scale and craftsmanship behind the piece.
Clay sculpture of the face of “Plant Medusa,” shown in its finished sculpting stage. You can see the organic contours, subtle expression, and textured transitions before painting.
Clay detailing of “Plant Medusa.” Fine adjustments to the surface and muscle flow, adding wood-like texture and organic curves. This stage finalizes the form before moving on to facial detailing.
Clay sculpting of “Plant Medusa” in the late stage. The silhouette is mostly established, and the posture, gesture, and flow of the upper body are being refined. Wood-like textures and vine forms are beginning to wrap around the anatomy, following the natural muscle structure. Serpent shapes are temporarily placed to evaluate the balance of the head silhouette. The sculpture is still rough, but the presence and personality of the character are becoming clear.

Clay sculpting of “Plant Medusa” in the mid-stage process. You can see tool marks and developing surface textures as the form becomes more defined.
Clay sculpting of “Plant Medusa” in the early stage. The silhouette and movement are being blocked in before adding details. Rough forms show the initial direction of the character.

A handcrafted Frankenstein creature stands on a cluttered workbench, coated in pale primer. The surface, textured like aged bark, catches a faint glimmer under studio light. Each groove whispers of movement — a heartbeat forming within stillness. Around it, scattered tools and brushes bear silent witness to a life being sculpted back into existence.

Fine grooves, wooden textures, and vine-like forms emerge across the surface — each carved line flowing like living roots. The piece captures the fusion of nature and flesh, as if the forest itself breathes through his body.
Rough clay sculpting of “Frankenstein.” Tool marks remain visible as the form begins to take shape — capturing the first sense of life.
Clay sculpting process of “Frankenstein.” The armature and rough form made from wire and epoxy putty are shown on the workbench. You can see tool marks and the early stage of shaping the creature’s body.
A handmade Frankenstein sculpture inspired by nature. The creature’s body is made from resin and epoxy, textured like aged wood and moss. Expressing the cycle of life, decay, and rebirth through organic materials.
