Prometheus, Monument sculpture in Tolyatti, Russia
Prometheus is a steel and titanium sculpture in central Tolyatti that rises approximately 14.5 meters high. The modern industrial design gives the mythological figure a contemporary appearance.
The monument was created in 1975 during a period of intensive urban development in Tolyatti. It resulted from the collaborative effort of artists Yuri Bosco, Viktor Fetisov, and Semen Vinograd.
The sculpture depicts the mythological figure who brought fire to humanity, embodying the spirit of the industrial city. Residents see it as a symbol of innovation and progress in their community.
The monument stands in Central Square and serves as a prominent meeting point and landmark for residents and visitors exploring downtown. The location is easy to find and helps orient yourself when walking through the area.
The titanium surfaces of the sculpture reflect sunlight differently depending on the time of day and shifting light conditions. This causes the monument's appearance to subtly change throughout the day, offering new perspectives to visitors.
