Willem Botha, Bulgaria
I was born in Pretoria South Africa in 1962. My career started as a sculptor for the national Defence force. Years later I entered the world of Special effects artist for the film industry, where I have more than 70 films under my belt. In 2017, I retired from the film Industry, and started full time sculpting again. Today my work is in many private collections all over the world. In 2020, I immigrated to Sofia Bulgaria, where I opened my new studio. I would say that I have a classical approach to sculpture in most of my work.
