Sculpture
Toparovsky moved to Los Angeles in 1981 and began working in bronze and cast iron. He has created panels, figures and objects from nature as elements for mixed-media installations that include architecture, water and landscapes. With this work he has designed private gardens as well as large-scale public art projects. In 1998, he was commissioned to create the life-size bronze crucifix for the main altar of the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels which was consecrated in September 2002.,
Toparovsky lives and works in Los Angeles and Milan.
