In 2013 I graduated at the National Academy of Arts in Sofia - majoring in Mural Painting - Master's degree. I have participated in a number of national and international exhibitions. I work in the field of painting and monumental art - mosaics and murals. I use different materials to make my mosaics - smalti, ceramics, marble, terracotta, combining them in different size and plot compositions. The mosaic panels are in different styles- geometric abstractions, natural motifs, portraits, icons and mosaic panels for temples.
My passion for mosaic began in my student years. When I create mosaics, I embark on a journey of the soul. Each material brings its own energy and beauty and I combining them together in mixed compositions or separately depending on the genre.

I express it through a play with contrast and color in different tones and texture obtained from thick oil paint. With this texture layer I create a palette on which after that I shape my creative idea with a spatula. The paint masks are rhythmic and free. "Light and Mind
