About The Artwork
This original marble sculpture on basalt stand is one of the latest artworks of the skillful Bulgarian contemporary professional sculptor Ognyan Chitakov, deeply inspired by modernism, surrealism and realism. In creating this marble portraiture, he has instilled the timeless beauty and elegance of the divine, channeling a serene yet evocative aura. The cool, smooth lines whisper tales of love and artistry, hoping to suffuse your space with an air of grace and a touch of the ethereal, inviting introspection and tranquility into your home. Aphrodite is an ancient Greek goddess of love, lust, beauty, pleasure, passion, procreation, desire, sex, fertility, prosperity, and victory. She was married to Hephaestus, the god of fire, blacksmiths and metalworking. Aphrodite was frequently unfaithful to him and had many lovers; in the Odyssey, she is caught in the act of adultery with Ares, the god of war. In the First Homeric Hymn to Aphrodite, she seduces the mortal shepherd Anchises. Aphrodite was also the surrogate mother and lover of the mortal shepherd Adonis, who was killed by a wild boar. Along with Athena and Hera, Aphrodite was one of the three goddesses whose feud resulted in the beginning of the Trojan War and she plays a major role throughout the Iliad. Aphrodite has been featured in art as a symbol of female beauty. "Each 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 VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/_WlCfNiG1zU

Bulgaria
Ognyan Chitakov is a contemporary professional Bulgarian fine art sculpture artist. He has master degree of education at the National Academy of Arts in Sofia. He lives and works in the beautiful Bulgarian town of Asenovgrad, where his home and studio are based. Sculpture is his main way of thinking, his way of communication, his way of living and his complex look at life. Sculpture gives him the freedom to create and makes his ideas visible. He loves sculpture because it gathers all in him - form, space, function, architecture, design, engineering, technology and above all Art – both fine and sculptural. Among all materials used to shape sculptures his passion lies in stone. Stone is ancient and sacred, and it is already part of his nature. Ognyan Chitakov is nationally famous now for his extra large figurative solid stone sculptures, abstract statues and geometric monuments, which can be seen in many galleries, banks and public places all over the country. Most of his artworks are already part of private collections in Western Europe, Middle East and the U.S.A. "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." Ognyan Chitakov
