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 jewellery 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.
