Categories Sculptures under $20,000 Figurative Mythology

Perseus is one of the most well-known and well-recognized heroes of the Greek mythology. Complexity of people’s characters and destinies, the depth of the philosophy hidden inside each mythical story have been inspiring artists throughout millennia. In my art myths about gods and heroes hold a special place as they have been a source of my inspiration even since college. Until the present the images of heroes remain the blueprint of physical and spiritual perfection. In the era of searching for new forms, plots, emotions in art, such images serve as the Pole Star guiding us towards the true harmony, never influenced by time and transient fashion.
In this sculpture Perseus is more of an image than a certain personality. This is an allegory of a strong and decisive person, elevated and inspired to a feat. We see Perseus making a step from the edge of a column. Although he must know that the talaria will carry him in the air, the hero remains a human and unconsciously cannot help expecting the fall. He must venture to make the first step into the abyss.
At the same time the sculpture is full of his personality: the details telling us Perseus’ myth. The shield is covered by reliefs depicting the hero’s feats in chronological order, the sea dragon is engraved on his helmet, and Medusa’s head rests on the shield. Apart from telling the story, these details deepen the impression as if Perseus is more of a monument than a person. An allegory of a hero steps down to the viewer from his pedestal of eternal glory.

This work is available by order only.

My name is Anatoly Popov
I am a professional sculptor. I graduated from Pensa Artistic College in 2011 and then earned a Bachelor degree at Russian Academy of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture in 2017. Thus, I dedicated 11 years of my life to professional education.

My inspiration can be ignited by a wide variety of topics. Most of my works are dedicated to historical or mythological images and personalities, which is an eternal topic reinterpreted from generation to generation. Occasionally my soul is touched by depth of nature and wildlife, with wonderful relationships often much closer to our feelings than meets the eye. Decorative art is also of interest to me, and the fine harmony of Modern art is especially close to my heart.

I am deeply convinced that a piece of art must give aesthetic pleasure to the viewer, inspire and let him or her experience the beauty of the world independently from the selected topic.
In any work I devote much attention to its plastic component: aesthetics and dynamics of the composition, the harmony of visual rhythms. The composition lies at the core, allowing to convey the feeling and mood of sculpture. At the same time the viewer can always find a lot of details catching the eye and inviting to examine, while in some of my works decorative elements can reveal the whole story.

I wish you a pleasant viewing!
