Food hall at school by Iva Decheva in London

Born in Bulgaria and now a British national, Iva is a very accomplished creative. She graduated from the National Arts Academy of Sofia in 2008 and 2010 respectively, with two MA's and a BA in the Arts and moved to the UK soon after in 2012, where she continues her creative work in the community she now lives in. As community based Artist, her present projects can be found throughout London, adorning many windows and interiors in the form of murals and paintings. Textile printing and sculptures made from paper and machine/hand embroidery are just small part of her work, having always been interested in creating objects from alternative recycled materials and unusual textures. Iva has been involved in many exhibitions, events, festivals, and international projects.
