ORIGINAL OGNYAN CHITAKOV ARTWORK !!!

2021, "七步诗 (The Quatrain of Seven Steps)" - red tuff stone wall sculpture

This original melted volcanic rock wall sculpture is one of the latest artworks of the skilful Bulgarian contemporary professional sculptor Ognyan Chitakov, deeply inspired by naturalism, postmodernism and zen art. The artwork represents the artist's idea of beauty and aesthetics in general. The stones are melted at high degree temperatures, reaching the point where they are back to their origin magma state and then slowly cooled down for days. The artist's concept is to restart the formation of the material and bring it naturally to a new organic shape and name it after beautiful ancient Chinese poems. This wall sculpture is one extraordinary melted red tuff stone masterpiece and exquisite modern home wall décor.

The allegorical poem "The Quatrain of Seven Steps" is attributed to Cao Zhi (192 – 232 C.E.), a prince of the state of Cao Wei in the Three Kingdoms period. Legend has it that he was suspected by his older brother, emperor Cao Pi, of trying to usurp his rule, and was ordered to compose a poem within seven strides or he would be sentenced to death. Cao Zhi came up with the poem, moved his brother and was thus spared. The allegorical poem is now used to describe kinship and to warn against harming one’s own flesh and blood over trivial matters.

"Each 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
