Maola Project

Illya Trofymchuk is not just a Ukrainian sculptor — he is a seeker of forms hidden beneath reality’s surface. Founder of the "Tigois project," Illya crafts works that blur the line between the material and the transcendental, inviting viewers into an exploration of identity, memory, and the shifting landscapes of consciousness.

Since his earliest sculptures, created in his teenage years, Illya has been driven by a singular vision: to unleash creative energy into the world and materialize thoughts that words could never contain. His creations pulse with a quiet, magnetic force — a reflection of his belief that true art doesn’t just imitate life; it transforms it.

The MAOLA project is one of Illya’s most ambitious ventures — a meditative journey woven through Metamorphosis, Abstraction, and Object. These sculptures are not static monuments; they are living dialogues. In them, transformation meets form, and material meets idea. "MAOLA 1," "MAOLA 2," and "MAOLA 3: Duality" push beyond visual beauty into realms of philosophical reflection, touching the fragile intersections of human consciousness and environment.
