Anton Terziev’s The Big Red Mountain is a forceful yet poignant homage to the late bodybuilder Shawn Rhoden and a stark reflection on the fragile veneer of success in professional sports. Executed in mixed media on heavy Fabriano paper, the monumental, contorted figure—rendered in deep crimson—dominates the space with both power and vulnerability. Terziev’s deft layering of pencil, oil, sanguine, and acrylic accentuates the athlete’s sculpted form while hinting at the darker, more precarious side of physical perfection. Part of the ongoing No Time For Losers series, the piece underscores contemporary controversies—doping scandals, financial pressures, and media sensationalism—and questions society’s contradictory fascination with spectacle. In doing so, Terziev offers a somber reminder of how the relentless pursuit of glory can mask, and ultimately succumb to, the harsh realities of human mortality.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Charcoal

Drawing made with a branch of Willow or charcoal of charred Europe. It enables to obtain very deep blacks, precise traces, thin or on the contrary very broad, depending on the way it is used.

Pigments

Paint made with colored powder suspended in a liquid binder to obtain some paint or ink.

Figurative

Figurative and colorful painting having taken the liberty of including all forms of art without border of cultural genre and geographic origin, without hierarchy of values between high and subculture.

Technic Drawing

Drawing is a technique of visual representation on a flat . The term "drawing" designates both the action of drawing, the resulting graphic work, and the shape of any object. It is also a representation on a surface of the shape (and possibly the light and shadow values) of an object or figure, rather than their color. There are a large number of drawing techniques: “Linear drawing” represents objects by their outlines, edges and some characteristic lines; beyond this limit, the drawing develops by representing the volume by shadows, often by means of hatching, incorporates colors, and s, without clear transition, the painting.

Bulgaria

Anton Terziev, a contemporary Bulgarian artist, is a master of using sharp irony as his artistic tool to engage with various contemporary subjects. His works are characterized by a profound use of iconography that conveys a stark and critical imagery. In his artistic repertoire, Anton skillfully weaves together elements of stakes, skills, and storytelling, resulting in figurative contemporary art that carries a fine touch of social commentary, humor, and messages about the artist's condition.

Anton Terziev draws inspiration from two distinct sources. Firstly, his art is often born from real-life occurrences, unfolding around him in a way that sparks his creative process. Secondly, his imagination plays a pivotal role in his work, allowing him to craft vivid and thought-provoking imagery. Each of his creations is garnished with subtle elements of pop culture, extracted from movies and books. Embedded within every piece is a narrative, a metatext that enriches the viewer's experience without overwhelming them, for Anton believes that good art communicates softly but effectively.

What distinguishes Anton's work is his unwavering commitment to leaving his audience with a sense of open-ended wonder. His pieces invite viewers to engage in a dialogue with the art, encouraging them to interpret, question, and explore the narratives he presents. Choosing the perfect title for his works is a challenge that he often tackles by drawing inspiration from literature, cinema, or music.

Anton Terziev's career as a painter is intricately intertwined with his identity as a writer. His ideas take shape in the form of paintings and art objects, reflecting his diverse talents. Beyond painting, he brings his artistic vision to life through performances, filmmaking, and design, demonstrating a multifaceted approach to creative expression.
