"Carpe Diem" Painting

My journey as an artist has been shaped by so many different influences, each one leaving its mark on who I am and how I create. My background in economics and management from King's College London isn’t something you’d expect to find in an art studio, but it’s given me a way to understand the bigger picture—how people, systems, and societies connect. That perspective sneaks into my work in the way I structure my compositions, grounding them while allowing me to dive into deeper, more philosophical questions. And then there’s psychology—such a huge part of my creative process. I try to tap into universal emotions, creating pieces that resonate on a subconscious level and invite you to really feel what’s on the canvas.

Growing up between the USA and Sofia gave me a kaleidoscope of experiences to draw from, and now, in my London studio, everything seems to come together. My passion for art blends with my fascination for philosophy, psychology, and even my economics background. This mix drives me to explore those timeless human questions—why we’re here, what it all means, and how we make sense of it. I love working with acrylics, multimedia collages, and monoprints because they let me express the full spectrum of emotions I feel. When it comes to colour and symbolism, I trust my instincts completely, allowing my intuition to shape something that feels authentically mine.

For me, art is all about connection. I want my pieces to feel like conversations that pull you in and make you think—about the role of art, about your own experience, about the world. Symbols are such a powerful language, and even though their meanings are constantly shifting, they let me explore emotions and ideas that words just can’t capture. That’s what keeps me coming back to the studio: the chance to translate those intangible feelings into something visual and lasting.
