MILAN ANDREEV (B. SOPHIA, BULGARIA, 1948) The kiss Bronze proof Length: 55 cm Milan Andreev is a contemporary Bulgarian sculptor whose work is part of the revival of Eastern European figurative sculpture at the end of the XXᵉ century. Working mainly in bronze, he develops stylized human figures, often elongated and partially fused into a raw material. This work illustrates his formal research around the transition between figuration and abstraction, as well as his interest in the transformation of the body and the tension between polished surface and organic texture.
