Bilyana Stoyanova is a Bulgarian-born artist who has been living and working in the Netherlands since 2017. She was born in Ruse, Bulgaria, and graduated with a Master's degree in Fine Art from the University of St. Kiril and Methodius in Veliko Tarnovo in 2001, under the mentorship of Prof. Nikolay Ruschukliev.

Since 2017, Bilyana has pursued her career as an independent artist. She is primarily known for her large-scale works that often incorporate mixed media elements such as metal leafing, charcoal, and ink. Her art is characterized by minimalist structured landscapes, palette knife techniques, and expressive brushstrokes, each painting offering a unique mood and depth.

As an abstract contemporary painter, Bilyana seeks to capture the beauty of nature and her dreams on canvas, providing viewers with a visual escape into a world of imagination and possibility. Her works often depict serene, calm scenes, even within stormy landscapes, reflecting her desire to create spaces where one could pause and reflect...
