Ivan Totev says:
I express myself by sculpture. I don't want to be an artist in a broad and indefinite sense.
My figures are externally static, in steady postures, for which in most cases I need a third supporting point. I try to find the drama not in a gesture, but in internal dynamics – in the movement of the form, in its attempt to break the silhouette, in the conflict of the mild depths and the explicit high parts of the volumes.
I'm moved by images, purified by minor details, charm and provocation. I try to introduce anthropomorphic and zoomorphic forms to a sign, but I don't want to cut the relation with physical reality.
My sculptures are silent and tectonic, but every one of them has an irrational moment. And silence. And no humor at all. Not at all!
