The woman a creator and a muse in one and this is what I am trying to show the worl through my art. Through my work i want to bring out the creative expression of the woman on one level with the role of a muse-subject of admiration and inspiration. Drawing is just my life philosophy, I see myself as a composition of nuances and the world - like a sculpture of colours that shape images. My creative biography as an artist begins with the fact that I was born in 1976 in the town of Lovech, Bulgaria. I graduated from one unique for Europe high school: National School of Applied Arts „Tryavna School“ in Tryavna, Bulgaria There I was studying how to give a new life to the tree, making wooden sculptures, as well as painting, graphics and so on-in short, everyt- hing I love to do. I graduated as a woodcarver artist. As a student I participated in an exhibition entitled „Poetry and Song on the Balkans“, where I won the first prize with my painting as well as a scholarship. This gave me confidence in my creative path and also the financial opportu- nity to continue my education in the „Free art academy „Jules Paskin“ in Sofia, Bulgaria, where I graduated painting under the guidance of famous Bulgarian artist and pedagogue Nikolay Maystorov and my direct artistic director Prof. Vasil Voulev. At that time I participated in the exhi- bition „Countries and People“ where my first painting was redeemed. In the following years, art was my rescue island where I was myself. In 2014, I moved to live in Germany and here I started painting on large canvases and exhibiting in various galleries in Germany and Switzerland. With this came a success , so and the opportunity to engage only with art.
