Working in series on a particular format, he manages to express one of his ideas from multiple points of view.

ARTWORK IN CONTEST

Underdog, 2024

Polished and shaped aluminium container on fiberboard panel
50 x 70 x 18 cm

Dimitar Minkov in Underdog works with aluminium as an envelope that can appear both organic and inorganic and holds a regular, symbolic sign in its informal arrangement. The result is an allusiveness that is apparently elementary but complex and multiple.
