About The Artwork
Bronze and diabase stone were used to create this work. The weight of the physical artwork is 45.19 pounds. The work is based on the love story I once heard from an old woman in a mountain village in Ossetia. Long before the World War Two there were a girl and a shepherd. They both lived in that mountain village. Young people were deeply in love and wanted to marry each other. But soon the girl took part in a dancing contest and was chosen to study at the world top ballet school in Saint Petersburg. She chose career and became a ballerina. The young shepherd decided not to marry ever. Few years later he volunteered for war and was killed in battle. A true artist is a symbolist. He perceives eternity behind the perishable stories. Simplicity reveals the truth of every single thing. The image is not an imitation of the world, it is the world. Every feeling, even the deepest one, is diffusive as fragrance. Therefore the essence is about adunation, about togetherness.
