Connection

In this work by Zdravko Zdravkov, we observe how the search for dialogue often leads to fusion, to a sharing of thought and soul. Connection becomes a source of change and a reduction of differences, fostering mutual growth. 

To express this idea, the artist chooses the geometric precision of structural elements, meticulous attention to technical detail, and diverse surface treatments. This encounter is rich in reciprocal references—an infinite interplay of light and shadow unfolds as one moves around the sculpture in a 360° exploration. Opposites attract, similarities confront one another, and together they form shapes that radiate constructive energy, emphasized by the Aurisina Chiara Stone, which absorbs light and enhances chiaroscuro vibrations. 

If the arch is a curvilinear structure designed to bridge an empty space—standing as the ultimate symbolic and constructive expression of architecture—here, it becomes a message of overcoming limitations.
