“..The sculptures I have been Artworking on over the last few years mark a fairly significant stage in my evolution as an artist. They mark the emergence of my own plastic vision of nature based on personal experience and rich visual culture. I have chosen to follow classical techniques in sculpture, but I create my figures directly in plaster. Over the years this approach led me to an extremely good knowledge of the material (plaster) and its characteristic influence on creating volume and shape. Then I cast my figures in bronze. The main interest of my creative activities is the figure, and the theme that inspires me is the inner world of the common man. These artistic aspirations interact and contribute to the establishment of a highly expressive interpretation and reaction to familiar themes that concern our time. With the presence and development of "eternal" themes such as the Pieta, The Perdition of Judas, Fugitive and more, and placing them in unison with the current problems of contemporary society, I give my Artworks a social character. The themes of many and few, permanent and transitory, known and unknown, remind us of universal experience..." Stefan Kotsev
