ABOUT THE ARTWORK
The dragonfly is often associated with transformation due to legend. In fact, it is said that the dragonfly was once a very wise dragon that spread light at night with its breath of fire. His breath created the art of magic and illusion. One day, however, the dragon turned out to be a prisoner of his own magic: to deceive the coyote, he turned into a dragonfly, but in this way he was trapped in the new body, which had lost all strength. The name dragonfly is associated with two streams of thought, according to some derived from the Latin "scales", which means balance, because while in flight, with its wings in a horizontal position it looks just like a scale. According to others, the name dragonfly comes from the Latin "libellum", diminutive of liber or free. The dragonfly has always been considered a magical insect due to its fluttering wings, slender shape and speed with which it is able to fly and escape from its predators.

I am an economist and film producer by education. I love watercolor and experiment with water media. The spirit of watercolor lived inside me. I love the water and the mysterious process of infusing the paint into the water, the controlled and accidental spills between the color and the water. Often jokingly called myself "balancer". Balance is a must for everyone and for me this is one way to achieve it. Most often I draw when traveling. Illustrate my own travel notes. I have published 5 books entirely with my texts and watercolors. I love to say that the text illustrates my paintings rather than back - painting to reinforce the text. I let my hand feel the place where I am and through the drawings to convey my complex sense of time-space. I am a member of the International Watercolor Society. In 2019-2024 my paintings were selected for participation in more 65 international watercolor exhibitions on 5 continents. From 2022 I am a member of the Union of Bulgarian Artists.
