BIOGRAPHY
Kostadin Penev Hristov - Kristov
At the age of twenty, he began exhibiting in private galleries and public institutions in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. During this period, a private collector from Eindhoven, Netherlands, discovered his work and acquired fifteen paintings in a single purchase. This initial acquisition led to a four-year collaboration, during which the artist painted almost exclusively for the collection.
Later, he submitted his portfolio to twenty-seven art schools in the United States and was accepted to three of them. The Memphis College of Fine Arts (Tennessee) awarded her an advance scholarship, an exceptional recognition obtained after a lengthy evaluation process. Unfortunately, the official documentation necessary to travel to the United States never arrived due to the political and social circumstances in Bulgaria in the early 1990s, thus losing that opportunity.
