Before Eternity Painting

My work on the “Angels” cycle is inspired by а childhood memory of mine. I was about six years old when during early spring, and while the snow had not yet melted, me and my family were spending the holiday in Bistritsa. The village is huddled up in the mountain, right next to the forest and before the urbanization, it was very common for wild animals to come down, looking for food. Then, for the first time, I saw deer and even managed to caress one of them. There were about seven deer and the scenery was highly influential. One of the things that made me very impressed was that during this time of the year the horns of the young deer are covered with moss that gave their horns a delusive softness. In a certain moment, there was an undefined noise, and the whole herd disappeared into the woods in seconds. This memory was imprinted in my mind as a miracle I had lived through. This is why I call my compositions "Angels".
