The focus of my work is on contextualized abstraction. For years, I have been creating abstract paintings inspired by spatial experiences, which I translate into vibrant color forms that balance between two- and three-dimensional planes. In my latest works, I deepen the creative process by producing freestanding sculptural objects and reliefs composed of multiple layers. These works often occupy entire spaces, transforming them so that the architecture becomes an integral part of my art. My inspiration comes from architectural details and Roman floor mosaics found in Bulgaria. I translate these geometric patterns into my compositions, creating a visual connection between shapes, history, and time. Everyday objects and elements of nature also inspire my works. Rather than directly referencing these objects, I transform them into visual allusions and variations of form, carrying new meanings and leaving room for personal interpretations.

Born in 1995 in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. Lives and work in Hamburg, Germany.
