The Father's Yard Painting

My name is Dimcho Mitsov, and from a very young age, I knew that art was intrinsically linked to my personal development. I vividly remember the excitement I felt when I first touched paints at the age of 5 or 6. They told me that watercolors should stay within the lines, and I tried to follow this rule, but it was when the colors spilled over that the paper came to life. I had to guide the streams of water mixed with colors, becoming a true artist who breathed life into the canvas. I clearly recall the smell of oil paints, the empty canvases waiting to be brought to life. I held my first exhibition when I was 11 years old. Everyone was impressed, but I wasn't satisfied. The rules started to restrict me, stifling my soul. The images had their form, but something essential was missing—the spirit. I didn't fully realize it at the time, but this was why I stopped painting for over twelve years. During this period, I devoted myself to sports, which is now my profession, but my artistic talent never stopped awakening me, day and night. Now, I strive to look beyond the image, to show the world that there is a magical realm of Love, Wisdom, and Truth that our souls yearn to manifest in reality.
