Elitsa Baramó

I’m freelance artist, a member of the Union of Bulgarian Artists. I create the design of multiple books and publications. My paintings are in possession of some private and public collections.

I embraces Renaissance platform of the versatile man and the Fluxus ideas, keep up a spiritual friendship with artists like Cezanne, Salvador Dali, Picasso, Hundertwasser, Yves Klein, etc.

I like the feeling of the mega polices and their graffiti arts. I’m a consumer (of film, theater, music) and a creator. I’m interested in Eastern philosophy and the modern Western one.

I’m open for experiment and work in different genres, as well interdisciplinary.
For me the idea is the heart of the artifact, and the choice of expression is simply a variation in the translation (to visual language).

My exhibition biography grows (about 14 one-woman shows, 11 of them held in Germany), I took part in events and symposiums. As a national Bulgarian representative i participated with painting in the Francophone Games in Canada, the EU Mitte project in Germany, and the project Art Meets History – Grimbergen – Brussels, Belgium.
