MIKHAIL REVA

Drawing inspiration from ancient folklore and philosophies, Mikhail Reva processes unfathomable symbolism by reconstructing it into physical sculptural form. The tension between viewer and these imposing, anthropomorphized artworks sparks the imagination towards transcendent realms. The works of Michael Reva have a diverse nature and are presented in many place.
