Krasimir Trendafilov - Botren, 1963
Sculptor Krasimir Trendafilov is one of the authors who zealously defend the idea of the great themes of art and build their images for decades. We know him under the pseudonym Botren – an abbreviation of his surname Borisov and the surname Trendafilov. His most famous works in Sofia are the sculpture “The March of Dreams” in front of the Bulgarian National Radio and the monumental sculpture “I, Books, Know” in front of the National Palace of Culture, created from 313 cannon shells. A year ago, Krasimir Trendafilov was presented with an exhibition at the Daniel Sorano Center in Paris, and is currently working on works in which the form creates a feeling of weightlessness. He graduated from the National Academy of Arts in glass and ceramics and sculpture and is one of the few authors who does not elevate his name to a cult alongside his work. We talk to Botren about the hidden stories in his famous works, the artist’s mission and the place of sculpture in urban architecture.
