"For Krassimir Terziev domesticating space has been both subject matter and artistic strategy since 2008. The year when man first set foot on the Moon in a sublime fusion of human fantasies and capabilities was also the year when the artist was born, here, on the eastern side of the Iron Curtain. Using this too personal energy, Krassimir Terziev creates an “outer space” that is literally domesticated, utilised, tamed. In fact it rather outlines painfully clichéd civilisational models and storylines of that cosmic background, perfect in its petrified eternity, where the concept of time does not exist in any familiar and comprehensible parameters, where there is no day, night, past or future. The more populated and enlivened his “outer space” is, the emptier of human presence, the present and earthly reality become." -- Svetlana Kuyumdzhieva.
