ABOUT THE ARTWORK

The Bulgarian folk costume was worn in Bulgarian villages until the beginning of the 20th century. These garments were hand-made in the villages using materials that were produced locally. The traditional materials are linen, hemp, wool, silk, and cotton. Bulgarian women made their costumes all by themselves. At the age of five, little girls started learning to spin wheels, sew, weave and prepare the trousseau for their weddings. From their twelfth year to the wedding, they were taught to embroider – this was the highest skill of all domestic crafts. Embroidery used to have great symbolic value. It was believed to protect the human body from evil spells and spirits. Once married it was usual in the past for a bride to be taken to her husband’s village taking with her dowry of which her folk costume formed part. Later her costume was passed on as a gift to her daughter.

I make my art for myself:) "People always make the mistake of thinking art is created for them. But really, art is a private language for sophisticates to congratulate themselves on their superiority to the rest of the world. As my artist’s statement explains, my work is utterly incomprehensible and is therefore full of deep significance". (Bill Watterson) I do enjoy working in all media but my latest favorite is digital and mixed media collage. My interest is focused on raw expression, on the interaction between color and emotion and how it is conveyed through different materials, paints, different tools’ strokes and embossing. My restless mind continually challenges me to experiment with new media, methods, materials, tools and ideas, which I find everywhere, sometimes all of a sudden and in most unexpected places. I often start my paintings without not even having a vague idea about what it will be like. Then something happens, my hands turn into mere tools, my mind proceeds to "nirvicharta", I can feel "purusha" detached from "prakriti" and here it is, my work comes out complete.
