This portrait was commissioned by a customer, who provided a photo of his mother. I used soft pastels on paper and after the customer was satisfied with my work, seeing it in person, I recommended the most suitable framing. The job took me about a week. The customer picked the painting from my studio.
I am UK based artist.
My professional path began at the age of 15 at the Fine Art College in Kazanlak, Bulgaria, where I studied from 1975 to 1980.
I completed my Master's degree in Fine Art at the National Art Academy in Sofia from 1982 to 1988.
Until 1999, I lived and worked in Sofia, Bulgaria. During this period, as a freelance artist, I presented a series of works in galleries across the country and participated in national exhibitions. One of my paintings is now part of the collection at the National Fine Arts Gallery in Sofia.
From 2000 to 2002, I resided and worked in Budapest, Hungary, and from 2002 to 2003, I moved to Zagreb, Croatia.
Since September 2003, my family and I have been living in Aylesbury, UK.
Throughout my career, I have had numerous solo shows:
Gallery “Alexander” in Sofia, Bulgaria
Bulgarian Cultural Institute in Budapest, Hungary
“Csock Istvan Gallery” in Budapest, Hungary
Kaposvar, Hungary
French Cultural Institute in Zagreb, Croatia
Civic Centre in Aylesbury, UK
Gallery “Sofia” in London, UK
Additionally, I have participated in numerous group exhibitions in Europe. Among the UK galleries are “Iona House” (Woodstock), “Beeby” gallery (Olney).
I also directly sell my work to private collectors.
I am pleased to present to you a selection of my paintings and hope that my art resonates with you.
