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.
