SIPCHENKO

Wood sculptor

My name is Dmitrii Sipchenko. I am the managing director and wood sculptor of DMITRII DESIGN.

I come from Siberia (Russia) and have had an intense bond with nature and craft activities since my early childhood.

For almost a decade now, I have been particularly interested in artistic metal and woodwork. The artistic processing of wood has fascinated me for a long time. I started with small carving projects in the private sphere in addition to educational electrical engineering studies. The reason was the desire to express my creativity in addition to developing my technical knowledge.

First I started to carve small wooden figures and sell them as extra income for my studies. Due to the increasing demand for larger works of art, I began to deal intensively with the material wood and its possibilities for artistic processing.

In doing so, I became aware of the topic of "carving" chainsaw carving and, due to the lack of appropriate training, taught myself the knowledge as part of self-study and try-and-error. Over time I got better and better and in 2016 the Art Institute in Novosibirsk asked me to exhibit three of my figures for teaching and exhibition purposes.

Some customers noticed me as an artist and I got several orders, mainly with cedar wood.

After I decided to move to Germany in 2017, I haven't lost sight of my passion for wood carving.

As an artist, it is particularly important to me not only to create simple sculptures and wooden jewelry out of wood, but also to incorporate individual wishes and my own artistic ideas into my projects.

In order to offer you a foretaste and possible ideas for our cooperation, I would like to introduce you to my previous works in our gallery.
