Memory Lapse Sculpture

Broni Likomanov was born in Sofia, Bulgaria, where he studied art design at Apply Art High School and graduated from the National Academy of Theatre and Film art with a degree of Animation Filmmaking.  Broni currently lives with his wife and children in Studio City, California.  He has been working as an artist in the animation industry for over 20 years.   ARTIST STATEMENT: The primary interest in my paintings and sculptures is the human. I intentionally strip my subject from any particular time or place. By removing the background and isolating the subject I explore the raw, universal human emotions with simple gestures, poses, and facial expressions. I’m not interested in telling stories of great importance. The characters in my artwork are “torn” by their emotions (loneliness, fatigue, love, desire, lust, ect…). My goal is to for the viewer to complete the captured moments in time, the scattered pieces and glimpses of emotions, and to unfold their own stories.
