"The task of art is to excites hearts" Helvetius said, and this expression best describes what art is to me and how it is present in my life.
Art has excited me throughout my conscious life. From an early age, I knew that this is exactly what I wanted to do and I have always firmly and steadfastly followed my vocation.
Since 2010, I have been living and working in the city of Burgas, since then I have been a member of the Society of Burgas Artists. I am in love with this beautiful seaside city, carrying a unique charm, a symbol of beauty, glamour and inspiration.

In 2000, I graduated from the Art High School "Vasil Levski" in the city of Dimitrovgrad with a speciality in "Painting". My teacher was Nikolay Kanev, a unique creator and person.

My training under these extremely talented teachers built me as a creator, with a rich pictorial culture and my own artistic signature, but also hungry for new challenges and creative inspirations.
