"Monarch Butterfly" is an alluring 50x50cm framed sculpture that celebrates the profound transformation and delicate beauty of one of nature's most poetic creatures. Artist Aleksandr Shkarbanenka combines tactile materials and vibrant hues to compose a piece that symbolizes growth and renewal. The central figure, reminiscent of a chrysalis, unfolds into an abstract form, suggesting the emergence of a butterfly. This transformative journey from cocoon to flight is further emphasized by the contrasting textures and the dynamic, swirling backdrop, inviting a contemplation on the themes of change and evolution inherent in all life forms.

Aleksandr Shkarbanenko is a sculptor whose unique artistic vision is embodied through his distinctive, thought-provoking works. Born in 1956 in Kazakhstan, Aleksandr’s journey with art began in the vast steppes of Central Asia, where the rich tapestry of life instilled in him a profound appreciation for the synthesis of nature and human expression.
In 1991, he moved to Armenia, a land teeming with historical and cultural wealth, which further enriched his creative palette. The dramatic landscapes, architectural marvels, and the resilient spirit of its people have been an inexhaustible source of inspiration for Aleksandr. His sculptures are a reflection of his life experiences, combining a deep understanding of his Kazakh heritage with the intricate tapestry of Armenian culture.
Aleksandr’s work is characterized by an experimental approach to materials and form. He seamlessly integrates wood, metal, and textile, bringing to life a third dimension that is not only tactile but also metaphorical. His pieces often feature elements of the human form juxtaposed with abstract shapes and symbols, creating a narrative that invites introspection.
Throughout his career, Aleksandr has remained dedicated to exploring the bounds of traditional sculpture, often infusing his work with a sense of movement and fluidity that challenges the static nature of the medium. His sculptures do not just occupy space; they narrate, question, and engage with viewers on a deeply emotional level.
Residing in Armenia, Aleksandr continues to craft his sculptures with the same passion and intensity that has marked his work for decades. His pieces are a tribute to the human experience, reflecting both individual and collective journeys through their meticulously carved contours and assembled parts.
Aleksandr Shkarbanenka is not just a sculptor; he is a storyteller whose works bridge the gap between the material world and the realm of the imagination.
