Artist Statement
I have been inspired by old structures, objects with memories, landscapes with feelings. All my sources are coming from my travels. It’s a colourful journey between sea, emotions, roads, ink sketches, old houses, canvas, boulangerie, wind, paint, light and a viewer. Art for me is a deconstruction process of layers of paint, waiting to be scraped and laid back on in a different perspective, just to be a witness of something more interesting. The way I am going backwards I am discovering a unique story, like a detective game to find clues from the past. Exploring two-dimensional relationship with form, colour and texture has always been my main interest. The challenge is to maintain the right balance between graphic lines and colours. I am ultimately creating a new fusion of dry point and oil painting, wrapped in cold wax.
Bio
I have a BA degree in Fine Arts and MA in Architecture at the University of Architecture in Sofia. I have completed Postgraduate specialisation in Architectural Heritage in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania USA. This work was commissioned by the HABS/HAER and included architectural surveys, detailed ink sketches and drawings of historic bridges and factories. I have more than 20 years career as an architect and interior designer. I have successfully completed many projects, residential conversions and renovations, and interior design in Bulgaria, UK, Romania, Germany. Now I am painting full time and I am working in my own studio in rural Hampshire, UK.
