The name of Erzia is widely known in Russia and abroad. The works of this remarkable sculptor attract lovers of art by their uncommonness, lyricism and inspiration, psychological depth and musical harmony of composition. From the national tradition and the age-old experience of folk masters the author's works inherit characteristic power and vitality. A Mordovian by birth, Stepan Dmitriyevich Nefedov worked under the pseudonym of Erzia, the word being the name of Mordovian ethnic group. In this way he paid tribute of love and respect to the people, which had given him life.
