The Brothers Kirov | Steel & Gemstones

Rado Kirov: As an artist, I believe that one's creative pursuits are a mirror for one's understanding and perception of life; it is my unwaveringly optimistic, positive outlook on life that I endeavour to express through my art. My mirror-polished stainless steel artworks reflect, whimsically and playfully, everything in their surroundings transforming even the ugliest surroundings into a beautiful vision.

Vasco Kirov: Earth gives birth to gemstones in extreme conditions. Extreme pressure and temperatures, over long periods of time create cores of concentrated energy. These are purified by fire, hardened by pressure and, once light is added to the equation, they become alive. The "Gemstones" collection captures the way I imagine this creation to take place. My painting technique tries to emulate the effortless way nature created gemstones: with bold strokes, creating harmony of light and colour, within the chaos of formlessness.
