So now, in the midst of my first watercolor drawings show, I am thinking about my career, why I do this, is it too selfish not to be a doctor or someone more sensible.
Three years ago, my father passed away, I was living in Germany, working as an entry-level landscape architect. I just realized I had made it, I was working in a nice studio on big projects. I was dreaming about it for the past 5 years at the University. However, faith came around and reminded me that my passion was to paint, that art was not a weekend thing, but a goal. I remembered how I was daydreaming about being a successful artist, having a gallery, and creating unique art for a living. I don't know how I managed to forget that, but one day I remembered.
I had to realize that no one would come to me and tell me: "Hi, you are an artist now. Please, take this studio, you will paint it here and we will admire you." I had to work for that, I had to study more, do more, and put myself out there.
So I went back to my home in Bulgaria and decided to try it. I had some money saved and just started to study, paint, and share more. And three years later - I am still doing it doing watercolor paintings, which I consider a success because there were some close calls when I thought I wouldn't make it.
The works of art speak more than I can, but yes, it is about my feelings and how I perceive the world - actually, all art and creative ideas are, I guess.
Thanks for reading this little story. I hope you like my watercolor art.

These are so beautiful. You manage to capture nature and the human body in the same image.

So captivating. The juxtaposition of flora with birds or sea life was unique and beautiful.

The bird and flower studies are wonderful. The figure paintings need more study - but that's a function of time and practice. You need to work from a LOT of different models of all shapes and builds. One of our favourite ink paintings is of an old, fat man. It's just as beautiful as any painting of a fashion model. Keep working.

Watercolor is not an easy medium to work with. You have mastered it, and the surreal quality it lends to your pictures! I think you are amazing. Keep paining and drawing, keep pushing your voice diaries of what watercolors can do, in the hands of a great talent and creative mind! Thank you, so much for sharing your work!
