Biography
I was born in 1984 in Yambol, Bulgaria. I completed my professional training in 2009 at the University of Veliko Tarnovo with a degree in sculpture. I can define myself as an artist working in various fields of fine arts. Мy research is focused on sculpture from recycled paper, paper collage and painting. After graduation, the figure was present in my works as a major building block. Gradually, purely abstract fields began to appear in collages as a way of expression, while paintings and canvases retained their figurativeness for a long time. Inspired by eternal existential themes, the figures are delicately constructed of thin lines in monochrome colors, laconic, transparent. In 2020, the storyline in my art underwent a certain transformation, the reason for which is the view of nature. Surrounded by the fauna, the peace and quiet of my new place to work and live, art took me on a new path. I would define 2020 as a sip of freedom in my creative process. I felt how important it is for the artist not to measure time by hours, days ... 2020 was reflected in the power of freedom to experiment. The experiment is at the forefront of my work. I think that the feeling of movement in the unknown leads to creativity in the world of art.
I have been actively participating in national and international exhibitions, competitions and plein airs since 2007. The highlight of my biography is 2019. I was nominated for the ART-AWARD of Walter Koschatzky, Vienna, Austria. I participated in the international exhibition organized by Women in Art, Orlando, Florida. I also received the prestigious award for sculpture from the National Exhibition - Painting and Sculpture Competition / Young Bulgarian artists on the idea of Mr. Todor Staykov, Raiko Alexiev Gallery, Sofia.
In 2017, I was awarded the Young Balkan Artist Award from Austen, Skopje, Northern Macedonia. I also participated in the International Festival of Visual Arts "Environment and Man", held in Desful, Khuzestan, Iran.
From the 4th International Biennial of Fine Arts "Naked Body" "Marko Gregovic" in Petrovac, Montenegro, I received praise in the painting section.
Member of the Union of Bulgarian Artists since 2020.
This is my life and way of expressing myself. I think that Artfinder would give me the opportunity to connect with art connoisseurs from all over the world, as well as to meet new artistic worlds in the works of other artists.
