About The Artwork
Тhis is custom made artwork. Baba Vida Fortress is the main landmark of my hometown Vidin, Bulgaria. According to legends the town and the fortress were named after Vida who was the daughter of a wealthy ruler, whose kingdom covered a vast area from the Carpathian Mountains to the Balkan mountain range 'Stara Planina'. After her father’s death Vida and her two younger sisters Kula and Gamza shared the inherited lands. Kula founded her estates around the town of today’s town of Vidin. Gamza named her fortress Gazimgrad. Currently on the territory of neighboring Serbia archeological remains, dating back to the late Roman period, can be spotted in an archeological complex called Gamzigrad. The two girls Kula and Gamza got married soon after their father’s death. Unfortunately their husbands were very unwise and spent all their fortune. The third sister Vida declined all marriage proposals. She chose to stay single and dedicated her life to her nationals and in defence of the remains of the great kingdom. She built an inaccessible fortress and a castle where she lived to a ripe old age. Vida was a powerful and just ruler. After her death, people named the fortress after her- Baba (Granny) Vida, also known as the Towers of Baba Vida.

Bulgaria
Hello, I live and do art in a small town on the banks of a large river. My artistic style is influenced by this wonderful place, which represents my roots and wings. My “flights” are a search for beauty and hope, as an inspiration for my paintings. I travel the world in the real life, I travel in my fantasy and find inspiration everywhere. I paint with acrylic or oil on canvas using high quality materials only. I like all types of genres, mostly I use velatura and impasto techniques. I am a self-taught artist. I was born with talent, I won awards for my drawings as a child, but my life turned into another direction (it's a long story). Over the years I have applied my talent in designing furniture and interiors. At the end of 2017 I started painting with acrylic on canvas, in 2020 I also started using oil. I’m constantly updating my knowledge and developing my skills. Art is my first love; therefore I’m trying to completely dedicate myself on painting by making it my main activity.
