The Artist

PETRE PETROV Bulgaria

He has won many prizes and has been commissioned to produce monumental public works in many cities of the world. As well as participating in international sculpture symposiums his work has been seen in international sculpture exhibitions around the world. 

"The sculpture gives the idea of the 'life' in a piece of stone from which the planet's history is stamped. The hard stone we see now was once full of life and we are still able to see fossils of different bizarre creatures that lived on this place millions of years ago.”
