The Way

I am excited by the Way to the arousal, harmony and eternity. I connect ideologically the conventional poles of the east and the west in quest of eternally. The way is vague, dim but it comes completely with characters, symbols and turns. We are led by the desire to conquer our peak but when we acheive it we realize that the way goes on beyond the visual and noticeable...

Impressions

Myths are a never-ending theme to many authors as a symbol of love, fruitfulness and the flight of the spirit. As a subject of two of my paintings I chose the legend about Orpheus. The enigma of his muse and love I relate to the mysticism of the Rhodopes. The singer and the mountain become one. In a greenish blue tonality I recreate the enchantment of wine from the vine to the glass of rejoicing. I drew the Pegasus and Icarus flight as a fairy-tale in warm colors.

Erotic

The naked body is provocation and revelation. Aquarelle re-created romantic fantasies uncover female body in the light of abstract landscapes and glittering azure. The fire of passion is performed in bright pallette of warm colors, and the variety-show painted in poster style rhythms in figure composition.

Plenaries

The various and vivid landscapes impress you with different degrees of colorfull spaces. Interesting visual point–low horizon, without sky, stresses the mountain's greatness. Artistic landscapes in warm colors reproduce the calmness and the gold autumn radiance.

Summer Sea

The sea is inspiration for the artist. Here performed seascapes differ from typical marinistics. The immensity and the power of marine element is re-created by rythm of spiral moovement in abstract composition. The painting carries the blue-green marine colors.

Marine Impressions

The Marionettes

All the messages here are presented by figurative compositions built over abstractive or symbolic decorative background or stylized landscape. The naked body is in the middle of the composition.

The Mystery of Bulgaria

The mystery of Bulgaria is a cycle dedicated to the bulgarian traditions. Folklore myths and legends are visualized over decorative motives and ethno elements.

Stairway to Heaven

The works performed here are bridge between the iconography and fine art and between decorativeness and expressiveness.
