In Sweden, the artist realized his inner compulsion to work with landscape and with natural materials. He performed a series of grand monumental compositions in granite: "MYSTERY" (1997-1998), "PIETA" (1999-2000), and "INFINITY" (2001-2011).
The very material chosen determined the symbolic and cosmic character of the compositions.
The sculpture "INFINITY" represents an organic spiral – the geometric form is made in the semblance of a living being. This makes it an image of the 21st century. This monumental work (over three meters in height), sculptured in granite, provokes visual illusions. It appears to be moving, mutating its shape before the very eyes of the spectator. The sculpture becomes the memory spiral of the human race.
