Morphosis

Through sculpture, the artist seeks to explore the relationship between structure and space. What fascinates him most is change — the metamorphosis of the things that surround us. For this reason, he focuses on studying and investigating the aesthetics of transformation. In his works we can perceive the temporal succession of change and examine the interaction between mind and matter. 

The interaction between the dark colour of the stone and the geometric pattern creates a clear dynamism, suggesting a force in continuous motion — shaped partly by nature and partly by human intervention. 

Any process of formation implies a structural modification, unfolding through successive phases over time. In this work by Sultov, representing morphosis means representing movement itself — a mutation that has not yet fully become form. 

The artist invites us not to stand still, but to move around the sculpture, observing its inner strength, the effects of light upon it and the precision of its details. Each angle reveals a different stage of development, sequence after sequence, cut after cut, fibre after fibre.
