today my guest is the sculptor maxim petrul. maxim, hello, hello, dear valery. i noticed that journalists, speaking about your works, most often use adjectives such as amazing, unexpected scandalous, you consider yourself a scandalous sculptor, you know, i don’t know, yes, yes, well, that is, i ’ve been doing this for over 20 years sculpture professionally, that’s what scandals are, that is, there’s nothing here like this, now is the time of hype in art, and if you can hook the viewer, then you immediately fall into the trends, but what can hook you now? i just don’t have it in my conceptual apparatus, i apologize, i just misunderstand this term hype, because the creative process is concentration in solitude, communication, so to speak, with higher powers, with the creator, the discovery of some new meanings, ideas and translating these ideas into the language of sculpture, into this plastic language, the language of form, material, relationships between empty and filled, and so on, we have our own codes, we study them, you started studying them more than 30 yea
