As an artist with over 13 years of experience, my passion for painting has been a lifelong journey that has taken me from Plovdiv, Bulgaria, one of the oldest cities in the world and European Capital of Culture, to London, where I studied Graphic and Digital Design at the University of Greenwich. Despite my diverse background, painting has always been my first love, and I am constantly inspired by the majesty of nature.
I have always loved painting, and my passion for art dates back to my childhood. In 2010, I started to paint professionally, which has given me valuable experience and has allowed me to develop my creativity. My work has been recognised by various publications, including House of Garden UK and Magzoid UAL. In addition to winning first place in The National Art Competition, The Water Source of Life, I have also participated in many exhibitions in Bulgaria, showcasing my diverse skills in fine and applied arts. I have also had the opportunity to showcase my art in various cities around the world, including "Restart the Planet" and "Locked up" in London, "Art Fair" in Paris, "Rebel Rebel" in New York, and the "International Boat Show" in Abu Dhabi.
The act of painting is a meditative experience for me, as I lose myself in the colours and textures of the scene I am portraying. Recently, I reached a milestone in my creative journey by creating my first surrealism landscape painting, which incorporated Van Cleef jewellery into the scene. This was a departure from my usual style, but it allowed me to explore new possibilities and push the boundaries of what I thought was possible with my art. The process of creating this painting was both challenging and exhilarating, and it opened up new avenues for me to express my creativity. Ultimately, my hope is that through my art, I can inspire others to see the world through a different lens and to appreciate the beauty and power of nature in a new and profound way. I believe that art is compulsory in our lives, no matter our age and interests.
