Of Love Painting

Mitko Zhelezarov is a Bulgarian artist Graduated Academy of Fine Art. Work about drawing , digital art, paintings and ect. Many one man show exhibitions.Mitko Zhelezarov is an author with colouring and subjects, which are impactive and easy to be remembered, an artist with own style of painting and place in the Bulgarian fine arts. Works produced by the artist’s brush represent an attempt to move to another world, a world of Christian values and messages. Their quietness, calmness and positive power create an atmosphere, which is felt and co-experienced by everybody in their own way. We can look at his pictures without the need to ask for their exact titles. The messages, which are so important for the author, are put at the top place. This feature determines the overall appearance of his works. There, the artist is still more thorough and meaningful. Compositions depict the creator’s innermost visions; visions born in the world of his imagination. They have been built with a lot of sense of colours and linear rhythm. Pictorial canvasses are focused on the subject of Christianity. The author develops many variations out of one subject. Compositions are not of the nature type as an approach, they have the impact of abstract works. The artist passes through nature in a special artistic manner. Symbols and signs borrowed from icon-painting draw one’s attention to the major subject and the message: the eternal Christian truths. The silhouette of a blessing hand and the loving image of fish appear against absolutely conditional background. The hand reminds of love and acceptance, what we need everyday. And the fish remains one of the earliest Christian symbols. The boats illustrate the path of human life full of trials and temptations. He often uses the chalice: it is blood as symbol of life. These images come to us and suggest our strivings for the eternal and timeless values, which we need so much in our everyday life. Other major symbols which intertwine in his pictures include a key, numbers, letters, and eyes. He draws on the old traditions of our iconographic school recreated in a contemporary and up-to-date manner. His pictures depict a strange symbiosis of messages, colour and image, which carries a direct and explicit message. Produced at one go, they are full of positive energy and hope. By combining his inner and exterior outlook, he creates his own mentally enriched world.
