The series consists of 30 sculptures of warrior's heads of all times (from Roman gladiator with a scar and a sleek American marine, a Red Army volunteer and a Wehrmacht soldier to a tattooed Maori warrior and a ruthless barbarian Gaul, a crusader and a Saracen)
I was inspired by work of my father - Alexander Rukavishnikov, named "Goliath". The Philistine giant, unlike his rival, never enjoyed the special love of artists. Goliath was neither a king, nor a sage, nor a saint, but only a soldier of perishing civilization, doomed to perish himself. His name, like the names of millions of soldiers before and after him, had every chance of remaining unknown - do not bring his death such loud glory to his winner.
