I was born and raised in Sofia, Bulgaria. Since childhood,
I've always been inspired by the visual grandeur of
ancient Greek civilization and art from the Italian
Renaissance. Fascinated
with the intrinsic beauty of the human form, I studied
sculpture and anatomy for more than 15 years, eventually
earning a Bachelor, then a Master degree in Art.

A
classical education has provided me with the foundation
to begin developing my own artistic language and style.
I began to express the endless beauty and harmony
of the world through abstract art. However, I don't
consider my work as experimental or "good try"
abstract art. Instead, my unique style incorporates
and symbolizes grace, beauty, spontaneity, and a powerful
inner logic inherent to this wonderful, awe-inspiring
universe that we inhabit.
 We
all know that the artistic representation of a simple
form or human body can be interpreted in a hundred
different ways. That is the beauty of abstract art
- the diversity of the art and the diversity of the
interpretation is as limitless as the human imagination.
It's a two-way creative process.
Throughout the
1980's and 1990's, my bronzes have been showcased
in many of the largest and most prestigious art forums
in Europe including Bazel Art, in Switzerland, and
the Frankfurt Art Fair, in Germany. My art has been
exhibited in every western European country, and in
many others countries such as Greece, Japan, Mexico
and the United States.
