Before the Night Painting

'Svetoslav Stoyanov’s oil paintings are exquisite manifestations of a gifted mind that are formed by surrealist compositions able to transform the subjects into entirely novel and unexpected entities capable of surprising and moving an observer. Stoyanov beautifully captures the passing of time and the sense of burgeoning new horizons by depicting a wide range of symbols throughout his work. Svetoslav possesses an artistic vision and imagination that goes beyond the usual confines of the human mind that enables him to uniquely interpret his surroundings.

He believes that there should not be any rules and restrictions in art, only freedom of thought." SINGULART About Me: « 'How To Make People Think'.

Initially, my art was inspired by nature and the warmth of old Bulgarian houses, which I have always found very romantic. Then, I discovered about surrealism and instantly felt that this was my style, as it allows me to display the beauty of imagination. To me, surrealism in art is what progressive rock is in music, no rules and restrictions, but only freedom of thought...
