About the Item

The image of a warrior centaur: he drinks from the river Lethe, the river of oblivion. He drinks from the helmet of his fallen foe, yet he can never quench his thirst – for what he drinks is blood. And so, this thirst will torment him forever. A powerful symbol of those who have made violence, war, and destruction their purpose. Sergey Oganov was born in 1974 in the family of the famous Belarusian sculptor Lev Oganov. Sergey began his first steps in the world of art while still being a schoolboy, helping his father in the workshop. Graduated from the Academy of Arts named after I. E. Repina (St. Petersburg), Lev Oganov gave a great theoretical and practical basis for the further development of the talent of his son. In 1994, Sergey Oganov graduated from the Sculpture Department of the Minsk Art School named after A. K. Glebova, and then entered the Belarusian State Academy of Arts in the specialty sculpture. His teachers were the iconic Belarusian sculptors - Finnish Alexander Mikhailovich, Slobodchikov Vladimir Ivanovich.
