African (2021) Sculpture by Evgen Zaborovsky

Evgen Zaborovsky is a contemporary artist from Ukraine, whose passion lies in the mesmerizing world of electric welding. To Zaborovsky, the process of metal melting holds an irresistible allure, akin to magic. He finds joy in the unpredictable nature of the results, viewing each creation as a testament to the captivating journey of craftsmanship.

Despite the challenges inherent in his craft – the noise, dust, burns, and intense heat – Zaborovsky remains undeterred, fueled by his profound love for the art of welding. He acknowledges that spectators seldom grasp the full extent of the labor and dedication invested in sculpting metal, yet he finds fulfillment in the knowledge that his creations evoke wonder and admiration.

Zaborovsky's innovative technique, which he pioneered, combines three essential components: embossing, electric welding, and epoxy. Each element contributes to the rich tapestry of his artistry – embossing shapes and defines form, electric welding adds texture and character, and epoxy infuses depth and dimension.

As Zaborovsky meticulously prepares his works for the final stage of resin pouring, he anticipates the moment when his creations will be unveiled to the audience. Their assessment holds great significance to him, serving as validation for the passion and dedication he pours into each artwork.
