sardamov.comBio
Nikolay Sardamov is a Bulgarian artist living and practising in Sofia. He graduated in 1999 with a BA in Fine Arts Pedagogy from Sofia University. Inspired by the creative arts, Sardamov continued his studies for two years at the Salzburg International Summer Academy of Fine Arts before attaining his MA in Jewellery and Metal from the Academy of Fine Arts in Sofia. Sardamov's artistic practice explores the concept of form with reference to pattern, density, colour and size. His work has received national and international recognition through a strong catalogue of solo exhibitions.Statement
Intersections of Circles, Colours and PearlsThis newest body of work consists of brooches and earrings. I use the circle as a basic component and put together three-dimensional forms with six different circle sizes.
These forms are built symmetrically, starting from a center and adding and arranging the components in different angles to form clusters and layers. The resulting shape is a rigid meshwork, where the cube can be recognized as the main organizing form. Then I put the colors over the pieces and also pearls at the exact places.
Building the forms was like a game for exploring variations. I used the same number of components to put together forms with different characteristics: pattern, density, colorand size.
The pieces are first built up in wax and then cast in one piece in bronze than powder- coated and pearls have been added at the end.
