Cyrillic monument to be built in Los Angeles.

This envisages a project, the realization of which unites the efforts of the Bulgarian Foundation for Art, Culture and Education, our Consulate General in Los Angeles and the author of the sculpture, Broni Likomanov. 

"The initiative for such a monument could not have been realized without the cooperation of the Consul General of Bulgaria in Los Angeles, Boyko Hristov, and the Bulgarian Foundation for Arts, Culture and Education, which was founded in California and includes leaders of our communities from the West Bank.

After just one conversation with the author of the monument, Broni Likomanov, at the beginning of last year, we started preparations and planning for its installation.

We decided that Los Angeles was the best place.

A fundraising campaign is currently underway and we would be happy to have as many of our compatriots as possible take part in it.

The monument of our alphabet will undoubtedly become an artifact.

He will remain in the memory of generations of Bulgarians living far from their homeland," Elka Ruskov, the honorary consul of Bulgaria in Seattle, told BTA.

The sculpture depicts an enlightened hand holding a book transforming into a bird.

Below it are carved the letters A, B, C and G. 

“Beginning the first sketches of the writing monument project, it was important for me to find a quickly recognizable symbolism.

I found the inspiration for the monument in the phrase "knowledge gives wings".

The monument of writing depicts the hand of the enlightener, giving future generations knowledge in the form of an open book.

Part of the book's pages turn into a bird's wing," said the author of the work, Broni Likomanov.
