THE ART OF NATURE
I am Alexander Cheglakov. I create unique art pieces from centuries-old dry trees.
Each piece of art is the embodiment of nature with a new vision. Using my own hands and imagination, I give environmentally-friendly wood a second chance at life.

It all started a few years ago when I was walking through the forest and looking for firewood for the fireplace. While selecting a dry tree from the deadwood, I accidentally discovered giant oak's snags which had a really unusual shape and it seemed such a pity to toss them into the fire.
Dried environmentally-friendly wood, Californian corals, fragments of antique stained glass, pieces of Sicilian glassware weathered by the sea, rhinestone, bronze animal figures and candles which radiate a warm atmosphere.
