Anton Yakushev is a Bend-based sculptor and metal artist whose work is entirely hand-forged and one of a kind. Beginning his journey as a blacksmith at sixteen, he has developed unique techniques that blend traditional forging with contemporary metal design. Anton’s sculptures explore nature, form, and narrative through steel, copper, and bronze, inviting viewers into thoughtful worlds shaped by humanism, love, and compassion. His award-winning pieces have been shown internationally and are held in collections across the U.S. and abroad.
