Stanislav Bojankov-Stanko achieves in his work a complete harmony between poetic vision and tangible object.Through the means of print art he transfers drawing into different elite dimensions of space.The new Euclids optic which the artist opposes against the secrets of present and future, is like an insight into the fantastic architecture of matter and time.Perhaps this is where Ariadnas invisible string of fate starts to uncoil through the labyrinth toward the soul of ideal humanity.
Plamena Dimitrova-Racheva
Art Critic,Bulgaria
Stanislav Bojankov-Stanko opens before us poetic vistas, reveals romantic emotions and their correlation.His works are,before all,an attempt at perception of each new truth, connected(maybe) with that particle of scattered matter, which contains the hidden meanings of the origin that the artist shares willingly with us.
“…Balkan consistency of self identification, an attempt at self definition, the ego as a locating code of the origin…
The horizon of real phenomena(thought, time,space) where the echo of ones own traces of existence and the need to be,the distant and the primary are identifiable with the archaeology of origin…
The roots: proto history, antiquity,orthodoxy, mistery of voices and incantations, the Balkans, existence, Ego, as a particle of matter scattered amongst the romantic autonomy of the territory of origin,the informational poetry of vision(primary states and their archaeology) reveal an individual visualisation, a feeling of unity of perception and the individual code of its matter.
A craving after the springs of origin(distant time) and its manifestation in the era of the 20th century Technocracy, a yearning on the verge of the microcosmos of the ego and the macrocosmos of the springs.”
