Naum Epelbaum tinde spre reinterpretarea tradiţiilor artei populare şi aderă către curentele moderne, iar Nicolae Gabzulin se inspiră din modelele devenite clasice, adaptându-le la propriul său stil de creaţie. Studiile făcute de Naum Epelbaum (a absolvit Şcoala Superioară Industrială de Arte Plastice „V. Muhina” din Sankt-Petersburg în 1956) îi permit să abordeze genul animalier, care devine pentru el relevant, sculptorul experimentând şi căutând noi modalităţi de expresie. Nicolae Gabzulin a absolvit Şcoala Republicană de Arte Plastice „I.E. Repin” din Chişinău. Eleganţa compoziţiilor sale se datorează implementării realizărilor sculptorilor din secolele XVIII-XIX, ajustate la exigenţele artei contemporane.
