The egg is a symbol of the beginning of life and as such is white and clean. The nest is a symbol of the home. I am Bulgarian that is why I decorated him with Bulgarian colored rugs. That's for me the coziness, the warmth, and the harmony. This is the story of Columbus`s Egg: Columbus being at a party with many noble Spaniards, where, as was customary, the subject of conversation was the Indies: one of them undertook to say: —"Mr. Christopher, even if you had not found the Indies, we should not have been devoid of a man who would have attempted the same that you did, here in our own country of Spain, as it is full of great men clever in cosmography and literature." Columbus said nothing in answer to these words, but having desired an egg to be brought to him, he placed it on the table saying: "Gentlemen, I will lay a wager with any of you, that you will not make this egg stand up as I will, naked and without anything at all." They all tried, and no one succeeded in making it stand up. When the egg came round to the hands of Columbus, by beating it down on the table he fixed it, having thus crushed a little of one end; wherefore all remained confused, understanding what he would have said: that after the deed is done, everybody knows how to do it; that they ought first to have sought for the Indies, and not laugh at him who had sought for it first, while they for some time had been laughing, and wondered at it as an impossibility.

Sitting on my desk with the strong intention to write something about me for all of you I asked myself- Who am I? What kind of person am I? What do I like and hate? Why do I paint in this way? These are too many questions indeed and surely all the answers could be found in my paintings. I do not know if I paint well but to express myself through art is much easier to me than to do it by writing. You cannot find aggression and vulgarity in my art although as an ordinary person I meet and struggle with them every day. I have ignored them from my world. This is why most of my paintings seem romantic. I do not copy and I do not transfer objects and real events in my work. The life goes through my senses and feelings and turns into art. You are curious how it happens? I do not know. It might be just the magic of the Art. I am born in siti Kazanlak. I live in Stara Zagora. I am professional painter. Experiments with different materials - acrylic, oil, pastel. Inspired by nature, the world's mysteries and legends. Looking the duality between the abstract and the nature, between the texture of mixed technique and the fine line of the drawing, between the reality and the fairy tale. Difficult me to say who am I, but can to you show what create. I will show you my world , whether he will like ? .... not know.
