If there are scrap metals such as cars, watches, electrical appliances and electronic appliances parts, silverware, etc. at home, most people may just recycle them, but in the eyes of Russian artist Igor Verniy, recycling these scrap metals is the best option. What a waste!

Verniy uses these scrap metals to create sculptures of birds, butterflies and other animals that are full of steampunk and cyberpunk styles. The unique decadent color of scrap metal creates a mechanical style of the industrial period. Although each statue looks like it has gone through a lot of experience and wind and frost, it also looks unique in its resilience.

Speaking of Verniys creative process, it is actually not easy. Before creating, Verniy will carefully observe every expression of these animals in the real world. When creating, I carefully search for suitable metals instead of unconsciously assembling all the parts in my hand. In addition, he also paid special attention to the joints, using dozens of parts to carefully carve them to ensure that each joint can move, which also makes his works show lifelike postures.
