"Bulgarian-born artist Stanislav Bojankov (b.1966) brings together a profound visual vocabulary rooted in history, myth and metaphysics. Trained in printmaking at The Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow under Prof. Andrzej Pietsch, and a two-time recipient of the Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant, Bojankov has built a deeply resonant body of work across painting, drawing and graphic design. At the heart of his practice is a meditative investigation into existence – its traces, echoes, and cultural imprints. His monumental triptych The Holy Doors of Meaning (1996-2023) stands as a spiritual and artistic landmark, merging personal iconography with the architectural symbolism of the iconostasis. Installed in the Art Gallery “Vladimir Dimitrov – The Master” and in The Pirgova Tower (XVc.), it reflects his ongoing dialogue between the sacred and the secular. Drawing from Bulgaria’s rich civilizational layers – from Neolithic symbols to Orthodox mysticism – Bojankov fuses local heritage with global concerns. His abstract forms act as vessels of memory, filtering philosophy, mythology, and music into contemporary codes. Participating in over 400 exhibitions worldwide, with works in 50+ museums, Bojankov’s art is both timeless and urgent – a testament to the enduring power of the image in a fragmented world". "Stanislav Bojankov-Stanko achieves in his work a complete harmony between poetic vision and tangible object.Through the means of art he transfers drawing into different elite dimensions of space.
