Author's bronze sculpture "Protect your inner world - 2"

This is an original bronze sculpture created in an expressive, almost intimate manner, conveying a rare combination of fragility and inner tension. The image of a seated man with his hands at his temples is sculpted through rounded, full-bodied volumes that form a feeling of heaviness and density of experiences. The smooth transitions of the shape, accentuated by the soft sheen of deep bronze patination, give the figure a lively texture — as if the warmth of human skin is barely discernible through the metal.

The sculptor Igor Volozhanin executed this series in the key of metamodernism — with a reference to antiquity, but with deliberate deformation and simplification of the form. The figure is devoid of the usual anatomical structure, but retains its plastic expressiveness. The author abandoned secondary elements and colors, reducing everything to bronze monochrome, thereby enhancing the volume, density of the image and its emotional resonance. Conciseness here is not poverty, but concentration. The context has been updated, but the mythological core has been preserved.

The work is intended for an intelligent collector who is able to read deep cultural codes, see the idea behind the plastic, and the drama behind the irony. It is an object that evokes a response and at the same time leaves room for interpretation. Sculpture is appropriate in an interior where a dialogue of form and thought prevails, where every thing carries meaning, not just status. It is not explained, but experienced.
