ORIGINAL GEORGE TROYANOV ARTWORK!
2024, "Glagolitic" - wood sculpture
This original walnut wood sculpture is one of the latest artworks of the talented professional Bulgarian sculptor George Troyanov. In crafting this sculpture, he delves into the harmony of historical depth and contemporary design, embodying a textured narrative within the sturdy medium of wood. This piece is a celebration of cultural memory, amplified through abstract forms and the robust, earthy tones of the wood. It's designed to evoke a sense of grounding and introspection, adding a touch of soulful wisdom to any space it inhabits.
Created around 855 to 863CE by brothers Cyril and Metodius, the purpose of the Glagolitic alphabet was a follow up to the Christening of the Bulgarians and creation of an independent church, detaching itself completely from the Greek Orthodox church at the time. The different letters are represented by different words rather than phonemes, here are some examples:
Ⰰ – азъ (az) which means ‘I, me’,
Ⰱ – буки (bouki) meaning ‘letter, word’
Ⰲ – веди (vedi) meaning– ‘know, to know’
The Glagolitic alphabet was made, not only for functional use, but as a statement of freedom and independence, a declaration of a desire to be remembered, to leave something behind and tell the generations to come that here stood Bulgarians, proud of their heritage and who they are. In the 9th century, Bulgarians relied on the Greek alphabet for archiving and religious texts as we were under the govern of the Greek Orthodox Church, however after some tumultuous events, the then khan Boris I, later turned tzar after the enforcement of Christianity, assigned the creation of a Bulgarian alphabet to brothers (later turned saints) Cyril and Metodius.
