The Vortex Artwork

Elena Manolkova is an abstract and cubist artist, born in 1977 and based in Bulgaria. By profession, she is a fashion designer with numerous awards, an official stylist of the Bulgarian Chess Federation and a graduate interior designer, but her true essence is that of an artist who is not afraid to experiment and challenge the boundaries of modern art. Her works bring depth and dynamism, becoming not just paintings, but living stories filled with emotion and symbolism. In 2025, she will show her first signature collection, "The Silent Faces Collection", inspired by hidden emotions and unspoken words of faces that are silent but never go unnoticed. The artist plans to create several more limited collections by the end of this year with which to clearly declare her unique style to the world. Another intriguing painting that leaves us searching, feeling, believing is “The Sentinels.” Above the silent victim, they tower – the guardians of eternity. In each of her works, Manolkova dismantles reality to create a new artistic story – bold, balanced and captivating. Her art is not just for looking at. It speaks.
