ABOUT THE ARTWORK
This original basalt sculpture is one of the latest artworks of the skillful Bulgarian contemporary professional sculptor Ognyan Chitakov, presenting an unique contemporary look and skills at carving fine art portraiture, deeply inspired by postmodernism, naturalism and realism. In crafting this sculpture, he has hewn raw basalt into a visage that merges the ruggedness of nature with the nuanced expressions of humanity. The sculptor has captured an interplay of light and shadow, where the stony textures and contours evoke resilience and contemplation. This piece speaks to the indomitable spirit that perseveres through adversity, an emotional anchor to any space imbuing strength, beauty and reflection. Askia Muhammad I (1443–1538) was the first ruler of the Askia dynasty of the Songhai Empire. He is also known as Askia the Great, and his name in modern Songhai is Mamar Kassey. Askia strengthened his empire and made it the largest empire in West Africa's history. His policies resulted in a rapid expansion of trade with Europe and Asia and the creation of many schools. "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/watch?v=OvkztJSXhdA

Ognyan Chitakov
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
