Artwork location: Bulgaria

This artwork is a striking and evocative sculpture that commands attention with its bold form and intricate details. The piece masterfully depicts a slender, elongated human figure standing atop a refined pedestal of polished marble. The most captivating and unique aspect of this sculpture is the expansive, wing-like structure extending from the figure's back, gracefully arching upwards and outwards. Crafted from what appears to be a robust, bronze-like material, the wing is adorned with an array of meticulously carved patterns that evoke a sense of movement and fluidity, as if caught mid-transition between organic and ethereal realms. The texture is rich and tactile, inviting viewers to appreciate the intricate workmanship that breathes life into the static form. The figure itself is minimalist in design, its elongated limbs and torso suggesting elegance and a sense of ascension or transcendence. Despite the simplicity, the posture is dynamic, exuding a quiet strength and resilience. The contrast between the smooth, almost ethereal surface of the figure and the detailed, textured wing adds a compelling dimensionality to the piece, making it both visually and emotionally engaging. This sculpture is not merely a representation of a mythical or supernatural being; it is a profound exploration of themes such as freedom, aspiration, and transformation. It stands as a testament to the artist's skill in merging form and concept, inviting viewers to contemplate the deeper narratives embedded within its sleek, sinewy lines and lavishly detailed expanse. This is a remarkable work that transcends mere visual appeal, capturing the viewer's imagination and affording a deep sense of wonder and reflection.

What inspires me are the complex movements and states of the human body, as well as captivating and saturated with depth human faces. People who search, find and discover. The non-standard ones that are more often in a state of urge –  ''the flying people''. I love making such compositions, as well as birds – a symbol of freedom, latitude, and grace. I prefer bronze as a material for my sculptures, because of its unlimited capabilities of influence. I define my style as associative.''
