Lilium flowers Pink Stargazer Print

At the tender age of 10, my life took a significant turn as my family and I relocated to Bulgaria. It was here, amidst the rich tapestry of Bulgarian culture, that I spent my formative years and developed deep roots in this beautiful land. Growing up in Bulgaria wasn't just a geographical change; it was a transformation of the soul. I was immersed in the warmth of Bulgarian traditions, enchanted by the melodic rhythms of the language, and captivated by the breathtaking landscapes that surrounded me. These early experiences instilled in me a profound connection to this country and its people, a connection that would later find expression in my art. From my earliest memories, I carried a deep-seated dream of becoming an artist. As a child, I was endlessly captivated by the world of colors, shapes, and creative expression. The urge to put my imagination onto canvas was a constant whisper in my heart, guiding my steps. However, life's journey often takes unexpected turns. When the time came to choose a path for my formal education, I found myself drawn towards the world of interior design. It was a practical choice, one that promised stability and a secure future. So, I set aside my childhood dream temporarily, but the artist in me never truly slumbered. This decision to study interior design, while a detour from my true passion, would later prove to be a valuable chapter in my artistic journey, as it enriched my understanding of spatial relationships, color theory, and design principles, all of which found their way back into my art in unexpected and beautiful ways. Oil paints and gouache quickly became my companions of choice. Their rich, vibrant colors allowed me to capture the essence of my imagination in ways I could never have imagined. My studio transformed into a laboratory of experimentation, where the boundaries of art were pushed and redefined. In 2023, I held my first solo exhibition. My heart raced with excitement as I curated my very first solo exhibition. The moment arrived in a small gallery in Balchik, and I remember the thrill of unveiling each painting, each one a piece of my soul laid bare for the world to see. The response was electrifying, and in that moment, I discovered the profound joy of sharing my creations with others. Before this exhibition, I had already sold my paintings abroad more than once.The world became my canvas, and I was determined to paint it with my art.
