Pasha Technik's Ex-Wife Unveils Completed Monument to the Rapper: "Looks Very Similar"
The monument dedicated to the renowned rapper Pasha Technik has been completed. His former wife, Eva Karitskaya, announced her final selection and shared a video of the sculpture. The artist passed away at the age of 40 last spring, leaving behind his six-year-old son, Ivan, who is being raised by Karitskaya.
The unveiled video shows a full-height monument of Pasha Technik: the rapper is depicted standing upright, with crossed arms, holding a microphone in one hand. Karitskaya noted that the sculpture features clothing from his favorite brands.
On her Telegram channel, she added that the monument "looks very similar" to the late artist in person. Fans supported her choice and praised the realism of the sculpture.
Previously, Karitskaya had approached several sculptors, but was not satisfied with their mock-ups due to a lack of resemblance to the rapper's image. She spent a long time searching for an option that accurately captured his individuality.
The musician died on April 4, 2023. His persona continues to draw significant attention. For instance, in August of the same year, at the Nikolo-Arkhangelskoye cemetery, near Ivlev's grave, fans began leaving unusual artifacts.
