Ludmilla Wehling-Wagner

I am a visual artist and photographer based in Burgas, Bulgaria. My artistic practice is a dialogue between two mediums: photography and painting.

It begins with the camera. I wander through landscapes, city streets, and quiet encounters, capturing moments that resonate—a play of light on a face, the geometry of urban architecture, the serenity of a forest path. These photographs are my visual notes, raw and immediate.

Returning to my studio, the real work begins. I translate these captured images into paintings using oils, acrylics, and watercolours. This process of transformation is where observation meets imagination. Colours shift, edges soften, and elements are recomposed to evoke emotion rather than document reality. The resulting works—spanning nature, portraits, city life, and fantasy—invite viewers into a world that feels familiar yet touched by dreams.

Self-taught artist with ongoing development through workshops, artist residencies, and engagement with the international art community.

My photographic work has been featured in international exhibitions organized by Gurushots as well as published in Creative Light and Practical Motorhome Magazine. I work from my home studio in Burgas, continually inspired by the environments and encounters that surround me.
