Impersonality Painting

I am a visual artist based in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, working primarily in painting. Alongside my artistic practice, I also teach fine arts and visual education. I hold a Master's degree in Art Psychology and a Bachelor's degree in Painting from the National Academy of Art in Sofia. My work is inspired by the resilience of nature — its quiet power to reclaim space and persist despite human constraints. Weeds, often dismissed as unwanted, become symbols of endurance, energy, and quiet strength in my paintings. I explore the dialogue between intuition and structure, gesture and silence, human trace and natural presence.

I work through color, gesture, and material to create a visual language that is both intuitive and grounded in the natural world.
