Boryana Korcheva

My primary interest is in the human condition expressed through the human form. I divide my practice between working from nature, a very deliberate process of building an internal visual library, and intuitive drawing/painting. Because I approach drawing without a pronounced idea or narrative in mind, emotion reigns. What comes from my hand when I draw is always unexpected and often unsettling, if not disturbing to me.

The serendipity of the outcome is the main reason why I make art.

I received my academic art training in the atelier of Kiril Stanchev, a prominent Bulgarian artist and pedagogue and was later introduced to modern art and aesthetics by artist Peter Popov. In 2007 I resumed my art training privately with Tinko Trifonov.
I hold a degree in Arabic Studies from Sofia University, Bulgaria.
