This sculpture is a classical treatment of the animalistic theme portrayed with a subtle jewelry nuance. Here the movement and expression remain in the background so that the adorning surface stands out. The animal was sculpted with precision and softness and was finished off stamping every single hair. The sculpture was gilded using the old technique of mercury gilding. 23 carat gold was thickly layered on the light areas of the leopard’s body.…
The dark spots were carefully outlined and oxidized. This has created a truly realistic effect with mild stylization. The concept of the work is contemplation of the beautiful animal, a masterpiece of nature in itself. Some of the details that impress with their delicacy are the teeth, the jaw and the tongue of the animal, made of white bone and black buffalo horn. The work is in its own way unique.

Krasimir Krastev
Bulgaria
« To me, art is the filter through which I watch the world and it makes it a better place. »
Krasimir Krastev is a sculptor based in Bulgaria whose works have been exhibited nationally. It is the stories of Greek mythology that inhabit his consciousness, much like a parallel reality. Krastev's realistic figurative and animal pieces are fantastical in nature, while also referencing antiquity. His bronze and stone sculptures are created using the lost wax technique.
