Several years ago, Alexander created an unusual shape candlestick made of dry hollow spruce, inspired by natural beauty and wood's texture. The first creative work grew into a serious hobby over time and took an important place in the artist's life.Alexander Cheglakov independently searches for trees in the forest for his works, sometimes literally digging up his findings from under a layer of snow, ice, moss or from under a softened and yet unremarkable surface of the tree.While searching for a suitable material, the artist also meets various animals in the forest (hares, wild boars, roes and even deer), which often push and inspire Alexander Cheglakov to create new sculptural compositions. According to Alexander, the main task of the artist is to find and show the inimitable beauty created by nature itself.The artist's activity does not damage the nature, all his works are a kind of manifesto in defense of living trees, and special energy brings warmth and comfort to the house.
