Time has been steadily and rapidly rushing forward, and with the beginning of the third
millennium, the art of sculptural miniatures acquired new archetypes, brand new characters, in which
there are so many things typical of the 21st century. It requires the artist and sculptor to apply the
cutting-edge techniques, capable of "breathing" the modernity's creative spark of life into their
characters.
The development of contemporary art can reflect the world around us as it is. According to this
rule, Carl Fabergé created stone-carving figurines with images of his contemporaries in the style of
small plastic art; Eugene Lanceray "attributed soul" to the images of characters in bronze; the sports
stories famous in the USSR by Elena Ianson-Manizer embodied the spirit of mid-20th century sports
competitions in bronze.
The work of Football of the 21st Century is one of the very first ones to be the starting point in
the birth of new era of realistic sculpture. It has already comprised jewelry accuracy of execution, the
dynamics of the turn-and-view system that enhances both the expression of a new image and living
similarity of all work nuances as a testimony of the pronounced 21st century that has come. This event
has been captured in the footballer's t-shirt number.
