Emil Valev

I was born in 1957 in Sofia - Bulgaria. I have been involved in art since I was a child. In addition to fine arts, I make music and video art and write lyrics for songs. I also like to read and watch movies and TV series. One of them is Huxley's Wonderful New World. I listen to a lot of music of all kinds.Since the late 80's my main occupation is painting. I paint mostly with oil and tempera on canvas and cardboard.

In 1986 I am graduated from the National Academy of Beaux Arts in Paris, France.
1980 I studied for a year at the National School of Arts in Sergi - Pontoise.
In 1976 I graduated from the Art High School in Sofia.

Since the late 80's I have also participated in art festivals and plein airs in Austria, Slovakia and Bulgaria. I have about 20 solo exhibitions. My participation in joint exhibitions is not great.
