Nikola Tsvetanov, a native of the picturesque town of Ihtiman nestled in the enchanting Sredna-Gora Mountain of Bulgaria, entered the world in 1991. His artistic journey culminated in 2016 upon obtaining a master's degree in wood sculpture and carving from the esteemed National Academy of Arts. Prior to this, in 2010, he completed his formative education at the High School of Arts in Tryavna, specializing in the intricate art of woodcarving.

From his earliest recollections, drawing served as a beacon, igniting his fervent pursuit of artistic expression. During his tenure at the Academy, Tsvetanov embarked on a conscious exploration, delving into the multifaceted intersections of art with disciplines such as philosophy, science, architecture, archaeology, and music. Within this rich tapestry, he honed his craft across various mediums, yet it was the tactile allure of wood that resonated most deeply with his soul. Within its grain, he found a canvas for his creative spirit, where each stroke was imbued with meaning and resonance. The art of carving bestowed upon him an acute sensitivity to detail, rhythm, and form, nurturing his innate ability to infuse life into inert matter. Through his tactile engagement with the material, he cultivated a profound intuition, a visionary insight that propelled him into the realm of imagination. Each artwork, akin to a teardrop from the Delphic oracle, bore the imprint of his evolving aesthetic sensibilities and personal expressions, encapsulating fragments of his boundless creativity.

In the waning months of 2020, Tsvetanov embarked on a strong partnership with the Bulgarian Integrated Artists Gallery situated in the vibrant heart of Sofia. This collaboration heralded a new chapter in his artistic journey, facilitating the global dissemination of his original creations and fostering the evolution of his distinctive style. Through this dynamic alliance, his oeuvre found resonance on the global stage, enriching his artistic repertoire and garnering widespread recognition in the burgeoning realm of online artistry.
