ORIGINAL OGNYAN CHITAKOV ARTWORK !!!

2023, "Halley's Comet" - stone sculpture

This original quartzite sculpture is one of the latest artworks of the talented Bulgarian contemporary professional sculptor Ognyan Chitakov, deeply inspired by organic abstraction, postmodernism and abstract expressionism. It is a stunning abstract three dimensional form and an amazing elaborate carving in one solid piece of beautiful raw quartzite rock. The artist's concept is to create an unique spatial form with the help of extraordinary maze of tunnels, carvings and details, both in order and disorder and leaving the feeling of lightness and flight. The artwork is one amazing contemporary stone masterpiece and exquisite modern home décor. You can twist it by hand in both directions, as seen on the video.

"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." ... by the artist

In 1705 English astronomer Edmond Halley published the first catalog of the orbits of 24 comets. His calculations showed that comets observed in 1531, 1607, and 1682 had very similar orbits. Halley suggested that they were really one comet that returned approximately every 76 years, and he predicted that comet’s return in 1758. Halley did not live to see his prediction come true (he died in 1742), but the comet was sighted late in 1758, passed perihelion (closest distance to the Sun) in March 1759, and was named in Halley’s honour. Its periodic returns demonstrated that it was in orbit around the Sun and, thus, that at least some comets were members of the solar system.
