Oleg Lobykin

Oleg Lobykin is a Russian-American sculptor and master stone carver based in Silicon Valley. Born in St. Petersburg in 1966, he trained in classical stone carving before relocating to the United States. His conceptual sculptures blend traditional craftsmanship with contemporary materials including mirror-polished stainless steel, fiberglass, and recycled objects. Notable public works include Talking Heads, an eighteen-foot stainless steel sculpture shown at Burning Man and in San Francisco. He has completed restoration work for Stanford University, Yale University, and The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
