Nikolay Shmatko is a Ukrainian sculptor. When America was preparing for elections at the end of 2015, he immediately said that Donald Trump would become the next president, and he was not mistaken. He expressed his attitude towards Trump in a marble bust of Carrara stone. Next, he created a sculpture of Melania Trump - from snow-white Greek marble.

He compares Melania Trump with Nefertiti and Pharaoh Akhenaten, said on the site of the sculptor. Based on her enormous creative potential, Shmatko creates her bust of white marble. What attracted him to the first lady of the USA?

“US President Donald Trump is a big story of American reality, and his ascent to Olympus is associated with Melania. I think her beauty and extraordinary influence on Trump gave him additional support in the fight for the White House, says the sculptor. Melania became Trump's support and loyal friend in the crusade for a new America. Her erudition, openness, loyalty of Americans and great love of her family - all these qualities are reflected in the sculpture of the first lady of the United States.

“Melania Trump is a charismatic person. Its striking beauty can be compared with the beauty of Nefertiti, the ancient Egyptian ideal of beauty. The fate of these two wonderful goddesses is in some way similar, although they are separated by thousands of years, says Shmatko. - Greek marble allowed to reveal the versatility of Melania and the richness of her inner world. Today, the first lady has many envious people, but they are all scattered like fog, and the marble bust of Melania Trump will remain for many, many centuries.

To create this work of art, Nikolai Shmatko announced a fundraiser to buy marble, but eventually bought it at his own expense. According to the artist, creating a “historically correct” image of Mrs. Trump in marble was his goal, and he decided to go all the way.

“Donald and Melania Trump are connecting links in the same chain, as a stage in a new turn in American politics. The money was needed to capture the image of Melania in marble, and I am not a wealthy person, my pension is only $ 45. In addition, due to the military conflict in the east of the country, my family and the entire unique collection (sculptures, paintings and graphic works) are now in the basement of the school - I call this place “the basement of death,” says the sculptor. - For this project 15 dollars were needed. I used Twitter and Facebook to reach out to Americans, but there was no support for my idea. Then I decided to sell one thing dear to me and buy marble so that I had enough time to embody the image of Melania Trump in marble for the anniversary of Donald Trump's inauguration. I did it!".

Despite the fact that the media around the world are trying to focus attention on the negative information about the Trump family, Shmatko decided not to give in to this wave and, together with his son, spent two years working on the sculptures of Trump and his wife.

“Some instrument of ignorance is hitting Trump and his family! It was paid for by someone, and this negative material immediately spread throughout the world. This product is in demand and, most importantly, it is a profitable product. No, I do not regret anything, ”says the master.

Marble busts, according to Shmatko, were made as a gift to the Americans. But now the sculptor has come to the conclusion that residents of the United States will not be able to see them for several reasons, although he does not exclude such a possibility.

“We have contacted the embassies of different countries, including the US embassy, ​​but have not received any answers yet. I understand that the United States cannot accept us, because it is necessary to provide funds for the move and find a place for the gallery. 1000 pieces of art - can you imagine? - tells the sculptor about his attempt to seek asylum in the States. - We cannot return home, because there is a war going on. So now we are hostages of circumstances, and I do not know how to get out of this cold basement ... "

According to Wikipedia, Nikolai Gavrilovich Shmatko was born in 1943 year in the Donetsk region in Ukraine. Works together with two sons. The sculptor created more than 750 monuments (bas-reliefs, high reliefs, sculptures) and around 500 paintings.

In 2007 at the Florence Biennale for the sculptures “Lugan”, “Bill Gates” and “Worship of the Disc” he was awarded the medal “Lorenzo the Magnificent”. Nikolay Shmatko is the first Ukrainian participant of the Florentine Biennale to receive such a high appraisal from the international jury.

Nikolai Gavrilovich says about his work: “I have never been led by anyone, I have never made political orders. I do not stoop to flattery, lies, I always do only what my heart tells me, therefore I am in disgrace in power. So I'm going to move abroad. "
