For our second event on Wednesday 26 January at 6.30pm, Isabel will be talking with sculptors Boris Krylov MRSS and Oles Sydoruk MRSS.

Boris Krylov and Oles Sydoruk are Ukrainian sculptors who have been working in collaboration since 1999. Boris graduated from the Ukrainian National Academy of Arts and Architecture and has dedicated his career to creating monumental sculptures. These include commemorative historical figures, park sculptures, plaques, sculptures to decorate the interiors of public buildings. Oles graduated from the National Academy of Fine Art and Architecture in Kiev and works from sketches and original clay and plaster forms to realise monumental sculptures in stone or bronze. His work decorates many areas in Kiev and other cities in Ukraine.

Both artists are active members of the Union of Artists of Ukraine.
