Your help is greatly appreciated, and I will be thankful for any information provided There are many ancient Greek legends about the Cretan half-man, half-bull Minotaur. Historically, the bull was the main deity of the Minoan civilization on Crete, and the Minotaur itself, according to legend, is the offspring of King Minos' wife Pasiphae and a sacred bull sent by Poseidon as a gift to the king. In the interpretation of Alexey Kanis the emphasis is placed on the divine origin of the half bull, its significant symbolic role in the culture.

Alexey Kanis was born in St. Petersburg in 1983. During his studies, the future sculptor came up with his own stone-cutting direction and a unique plastic language, combining stone-cut sculpture with the physical embodiment of volumetric mosaic; he also managed to make several large projects in China and Russia and to interest several large galleries with his work. In an effort to simplify forms and cut off excess, Kanis inherits the ideas of the golden age of Greek sculpture from the times of Phidias and Polycletus, as well as the famous British abstract sculptor Henry Moore. Thanks to complete, laconic forms, even the most monumental works of Kanis look sophisticated and have a mesmerizing aesthetic impact on the viewer.
