The name of this bird is also unusual. Its beak can be compared to a wooden shoe. This thing is used by a shoebill to catch its food.
The rest of its body looks strange too. It might be thought that It’s all made up of different creatures. For example, the legs have the features of ostrich or cassowary, a body is similar to stork. There is a square head that is also not a typical thing for birds. Its beak is the most prominent part. It seems like it was taken from some other creature and enlarged 10 times to scare. Everything is amazing in this bird! Just look closer!

Ever since I was a teenager, I’ve been very interested in photography and painting. Creativity has always been a part of my personality. It’s much easier for me to show inner world with the help of fine art and a camera than to explain something using words.
I have learned the basics of photography on my own, but it hasn’t prevented my photos to be recognized and in a big demand. A lot of my photographic works had tremendous success for the last 10 years, both in my country and far beyond.
For the last three years, I’ve been learning to work with acrylic and oil. These are the materials that allow me to realize the whole idea and use a few technics at the same time. Black can often be seen in my paintings. This color is like a gold ring made for a flawless diamond, equally, black color outlines the images of my paintings.
Animalistic and abstraction are the genres where I fully reveal myself as an artist. There are no limits in abstraction. Here I feel freedom and fullness of self-expression.
