Ashika, in recent times, has
been involved in creating monumental pieces. This exquisite piece
offers an opportunity to acquire a more compact work, that will sit
well in many an urban or suburban garden or courtyard, and reflects
the exciting new direction Ashika's work has taken.

Ostapkowicz, Deva Ashika, is known for his original stone
sculptures and water features in granite, basalt and marble in

Ashika continues to raise
his profile as an artist, and was selected as a finalist for the
Helen Lempriere National Sculpture Award, Australia’s
richest annual prize for sculptor’s in Australia, exhibiting his
piece Time and Timelessness at Werribee Park from
March 2007.
This followed inclusions in
two McClelland Contemporary Sculpture Surveys. In its seventh

of the leaders in contemporary Australian sculpture.

sculptures were acquired by the Easlink Public Art
