THE BODY 3 Painting

Miglena Shanova has created an innovation in the fine arts world. In 2002 she graduated with MA from the National Academy of Arts and began working on a project to create an entirely new technique in the world of fine arts.This technique she called GRAPO. The technique is neither graphics nor a painting. It is indeed an entirely different manner of art creating with enormous potential. GRAPO is incredibly inventive and offers tremendous opportunities for experimenting. It also allows for a virtuoso laying out on a very fine graphical level and at the same time gives immense color possibilities. The merging of graphics and painting makes GRAPO unique because it enables the creation of large-scale graphics, which is impossible to achieve with other techniques. The vision of GRAPO is two-dimensional which emphasizes its uniqueness. The material on which GRAPO works is very specific. It has a transparent surface and the image is drawn on the opposite side as with a negative. This is a process of art making with a very high degree of difficulty. Due to the specificity and complexity of the technique, it is impossible to make copies of the works created with GRAPO. Even the tools were created specifically for this technique. The GRAPO works of art are created with acrylic. GRAPO is very ingenious and offers opportunities for experimenting with the surface, creating structures, imprints and many visual effects. The vision of the GRAPO works is easily recognizable and empowers artists to create their own handwriting, as well as a different expression in the world of fine arts. Works of art made with GRAPO have been exhibited in a number of exhibitions around the world and are owned by many collectors and art connoisseurs. The GRAPO technique has gained worldwide interest as a fine-art innovation and has received a high degree of appreciation from art professionals and connoisseurs. Miglena Shanova is the author of a number of exhibitions, space and video art installations as well as of various forms of modern art presented in unregulated space and environment. She organized her first one-person exhibition of GRAPO technique works in 2002 in “Irida” gallery, Sofia.
