SteLa
​
Stelae are “usually carved or inscribed stone slabs or pillars used for commemorative purposes”.
The project SteLa includes many “stelae”, but these artworks are made in a quite different from the original technique,
they are not made of stone, the technique is acrylic on canvas.
Each SteLa consists of square and rectangular smaller parts in different dimensions,
these parts may be presented in various configurations, each SteLa has got varying dimensions.
The project SteLa presents artworks, which are purified “scripts” of everyday life,
each SteLa embodies the beauties, as well as the transition points in life, the changing points of view…
The artworks may be arranged in the “right” manner or their parts may change their places and positions in the space,
it depends on one’s mood and desire for change or destruction of order.
SteLa-e play with words and meanings “important – not important”; “eternal –fragile”, “black – white”.
The artworks combine different aesthetics, points of view and means of expression of the two artists: Laura Dimitrova and Stefan Altakov.
The title of the project SteLa is based on their names Stefan (Ste) and Laura (La).
The project have been presented at an exhibition at the Arosita Gallery in Sofia Bulgaria in 2017.
