About The Artwork

Sculpture - hand carved wood (gilded, painted) more pictures .. fallow the link http://www.stefannenov.com/apps/photos/album?albumid=3768326 Material: Wood.( absolutely the whole shape is carved wood) On the front side of the sculpture, technically, it has been used the traditional method to turn the wood into gold (gilding). A traditional carving, with ornaments emblematic for 16-18 century, is transforming into something modern.... electronic connections, the integral part of the chip. All this is in a contrast and the same time strange harmony with the colorful back part, which is the splash caused by the fall of Icarus. The brief description of the idea is: The front part works as a monument of the dead or just sleeping Icarus. The use of a traditional ornaments is there to increase his mythological value, but connecting that with the current world of technologies is also a part of the concept.. The fall should be accepted as a fall through a different cultural periods and societies. The colors of the splashed liquid are the same vivid as the ones of the internet world, and that's the final destination of Icarus. His face is the face of the artist, so it could also be read as a self-portrait work.

My focus is mainly on sculpture in wood. While working with it the aim is to present unusual for the reality objects, with strange presence which evoking amazement. That includes transformation of the form to surreal level, implementing colours and structures. To capture a unique moment or action (like leaking liquid or underwater bubbles) is another of the problems contained in my sculptures. I reckon the wood is the most unique sculpture material, the fact it has been something alive and later transformed into a piece of art reminds of reincarnation. Physically I like the touch of wood, it gives me a full control of the process and this where I feel absolutely free to express myself. The styles and approaching in my works vary from the experience of the classic woodcarving to the modern cleared form. Whatever I do, the figurative and the recognizable is an imperative, I enjoy seeing the impact of my works and their dominance over the space they are placed.
