The Unsought Painting

In my work as an artist I explore our surroundings, be it human faces or figures, animals and other objects, often placing them in a different reality in the context of a certain emotion or state of mind. Thus, the objects are loaded with a new symbolic charge. In addition to being an image, the portrait becomes an element of the composition with which a certain suggestion, mood, sometimes a specific message is achieved. Our interaction with everything around us is often provoked by vague desires or fears of which we do not suspect or at least are not fully aware. One of the ways to understand them is while we are dreaming, therefore my works are often directly influenced by dreams, hence the creating of s a picture turns into a process of realization and analysis of the experience, into alchemy of dreaming. I have studied fine arts teaching at Sofia University St. Kliment Ohridski, and ever since I was fascinated by drawing from nature. I have a long term career as a professional stop-motion and CGI animator with with a number of participations in international film and game productions
