About the artist
Photo by Marta Grasso
Reggio Calabria, Italy, 2011
I am a mixed media artist based in London, originally from Bulgaria.
I grew up in a family of artists, surrounded by exhibitions and the discipline of making from an early age. Despite this, I did not initially intend to follow the same path. I studied ceramics and later scenography at the Academy of Fine Arts in Reggio Calabria, searching for something more structured and practical, though without a clear direction.
My work began to take form after moving to London in my mid 20s. During a difficult period, I felt a need to draw that was not planned, but necessary. I started with abstraction. Repetitive lines, dots, and simple forms became a way to create stillness and focus.
From there, the work developed into a balance between figuration and abstraction. The figure remains central, but is often accompanied by elements that interrupt, dissolve, or shift its stability.
My practice is concerned with the space between who we are and who we allow ourselves to be. It explores a quiet tension between control and resistance, stillness and movement.
Some works emerge from a softer, more contained place. Others carry a heavier weight. They are not separate, but part of the same language.
Solitude has been an important part of this process. It allowed for a clearer understanding of both the work and myself. A quiet but constant sense of faith runs through everything I create, not as a subject, but as a presence.
My work has been exhibited in Bulgaria and is held in private collections internationally, including commissioned works in the United States.
