Created in 2012, it is cast in bronze with a gold patina and set on black granite, measuring 44 × 20 × 7 cm. Drawing on mythology and ancient legends, Aliev explores hybrid figures that blur the line between human and animal, evoking a sense of mystery and timeless narrative.

The work was produced using the traditional lost-wax casting technique (cire perdue), reflecting careful craftsmanship from casting to chiseling and patination.

Aliev, a Bulgarian artist living and working in Germany, belongs to a generation of artists who bridge traditional craftsmanship with contemporary artistic trends. His works reflect a deep respect for classical techniques while engaging in a dialogue with modern expression. Signed by Maker See less
