Artwork description:

The sculpture represents Pegasus - the winged horse from the Greek mythology. The hero Bellerophon managed to subdue Pegasus using a golden bridle given to him by the gods. With the help of his winged friend, the hero accomplished astonishing feats, which brought him glory. The tail of my Pegasus is tied in a knot signifying that Bellerophon has already tamed him. The sculpture depicts a classical Greek style stallion figure, with his strong wings spread. He is standing on two of his hoofs on a granite pedestal. I have tried to evoke the feeling of an ethereal creature, which is rather floating in the air like an eagle, rather than stepping heavily on the ground. The limbs and body of Pegasus are elegant and agile, with very fine engravings on them. The patina colour ranges from rusty brown to golden, making the animal look as if bathing in the dusk light. The sculpture is suitable for people interested in culture and art.
Krasimir Krustev’s works require within 4 to 8 weeks to make. Every piece of his fine sculptures goes through several stages of creation – modelling, casting in metal and refining. A distinguishing feature of a great part of his hand made sculptures is their jewelry like quality, and every single one of them is created with great care to detail. The sculptor does not compromise with the quality of his work, and many of his creations are in the collections of art lovers around the world.
