Mihail Asen Simeonov was a Bulgarian-born artist who moved to Tunis, then New York City, and finally Pawtucket, Rhode Island. He is best known for his Cast the Sleeping Elephant Project, a life-size bronze statue of an African elephant. It was produced by making an alginate cast in 1980 of a live, wild Kenyan elephant bull, which survived the 72-minute process unharmed. The bronze statue made from the cast was inaugurated in 1998 by UN Secretary General Kofi Annan and is installed outside UN Hea
