My name is

A little more about me

I was born in 1964 in Sofia. I graduated from University of National and World Economy (UNWE Sofia).

I have been working as Chief accountant for dozens of companies, I am proved specialist with skills and a lot of knowledge. Parallel to my profession I am working as graphic designer, pre-print and advertisement for more than 20 years.

How I started

The first time I felt thirsty to start painting and learn how to do it right was in 2016 when I decided to draw on a stained glass. The stained glass has always fascinated me with their magical as if not real lights. I bought myself brushes, paints and lacquers and started my first project - drawing stained glass doors with dimensions 200x80cm.

During the period 2016-2018 I started classes on graphing painting, fusion art, batik and palette knife painting. And there I found my real passion, drawing with palette knife was like igniting little spark in blazing and never-ending fire.
