ORIGINAL OGNYAN CHITAKOV ARTWORK !!!

2023, "Prometheus" - stone sculpture

This original solid andesite sculpture is one of the latest artworks by the Bulgarian contemporary sculptor Ognyan Chitakov, deeply inspired by naturalism, brutalism and expressionism. It has authentic natural charm, mixed with the unique artistic signature and skills. Andesite is an extrusive igneous, volcanic rock, of intermediate composition, with aphanitic to porphyritic texture. The earth layers had fallen into the mantle, had melted and then pushed back on the surface, where they have cooled down quickly. This brutal process describes perfectly the andesite material. It is also brutally used by human as gravel for highways. The rocks are blasted, crushed and crumbled into small pieces. The artist's concept follows this brutal material characteristics and common attitude. This exquisite art object brings its beautiful artist's attention to high fashion detail, precision and top quality.

In ancient Greek mythology, PROMETHEUS is titan god of forethought and crafty counsel who was given the task of moulding mankind out of clay. The myth of Prometheus explains how human beings first discovered fire, and it is so ancient that it almost certainly predates the Greeks. It happens early in their mythology even by their own standards, because Prometheus lived in the dim times before the Greek gods were first born.

"The stone material is alive and has a soul. I never ignore it and its gravity as well. I try to give each artwork the feeling of lightness." ... by the artist
