In 2007, at the Moscow exhibition WeldEx, Dmitry took part in the contest "The best welder in the nomination of argon arc welding" and ranked № 1 by running a competition two times faster than all other participants.

Many of the works of masters are now in private collections in Ukraine, Russia, USA, Japan, Britain, France, Finland, Germany, Canada ... They speak Ukrainian policies, measures and ministers, as well as president of the British Welding Society.

Creating titanium sculptures - a very time-consuming and tedious process. A mistake is not corrected. 'll Have to simply throw out everything and start over. Can not fix a broken seam by any means! This is not something that the iron - and heated up in the new Let's hammer tapping ... pee titanium sculptures are impossible. Only argon welding can tame this metal.

Each work of Dmitry made from start to finish with absolutely no margin for error. And in order to achieve a product of certain colors, you need to "feel" the metal, to know what color it should be in a heated state, and what will come of it color when the metal cools.

But this is not the main thing! The feeling of volume and proportion. The ability to catch and pass the dynamics at work. Show plasticity inherent in this or other creations of nature! That's something that just combats the spot, when you learn how to make these techniques work.

Here are some of the author:
