Humorous figurines by Svetlin Stefanov
Primarily, the artist creates vibrant color caricatures, though black-and-white pieces also appear in his portfolio. But sometimes his characters outgrow their two-dimensional confines - literally taking shape as wooden sculptures. These three-dimensional works perfectly mirror their drawn predecessors, maintaining all the rounded forms and cartoonish appeal of the originals. Svetlin Stefanov crafts his sculptures from pale-toned woods, mounting each piece upon a circular stone base. While he typically lets the material's natural golden hues speak for themselves, there are moments when the painter within him stirs - and his brush brings these playful creations to life with vibrant splashes of color. Maria Stalina Knives takes pride in being the official representative of Svetlin Stefanov in both Russia and the United States. Each artist's sculpture in our collection bears a unique identification number and comes with direct provenance from Stefanov himself, accompanied by a certificate of authenticity personally signed by the renowned Bulgarian master.
