Georgi Uzunov

I am a contemporary sculptor based in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. Through sculpture, I explore the relationship between memory, human experience, and the passage of time. My work moves between figurative and abstract forms, seeking a balance between emotional expression and formal simplicity.

I work primarily in bronze, stone, and mixed materials. My creative process often begins with an observation, a personal experience, or a philosophical question, which gradually transforms into a visual and tactile form. I am interested in reducing ideas to their essence, creating sculptures that communicate through presence rather than narration.

Alongside my studio practice, I have spent more than a decade working in artistic bronze casting and monumental sculpture. This experience has allowed me to realize public monuments, memorials, architectural sculptures, and commissioned works while maintaining an active body of personal artistic research.

My approach combines traditional sculptural craftsmanship with a contemporary sensibility. Whether I create an intimate gallery piece or a large-scale public work, I strive to build a dialogue between permanence and change, material and meaning, individual memory and collective experience.
