" The Colleague " - surprise

" The Colleague " portrait was surprise present for a young man working in one of the offices of huge company ( not allow to use the name of the company ). He actually didn't expect this. With this the other colleagues  wanted to show their respect to him, even if he is not working there for a long time.

Good idea! Isn't it?

It was absolute pleasure to be part of it.

The portrait was done for about 3 days ( few hours a day ).

"Personal Present"

For me is pleasure to show you my very last portrait. I've done it for a week ( because I was working only  few hours a day ). This is  present to my favorite actor from my country who was , is and will be  my inspiration forever and ever. 

I remember when I went for very first time on theater. I was about 16. I didn't know what to expect there. Marius Kurkinsky was playing something from A.P. Chekhov. I was completely blown away. I haven't feel something like this before. From that time I promised myself to start watch more theater.

Actually, Marius Kurkinsky showed me, somehow, the secret of the theater. The main idea and the reason to go there. That's why I decided to do this special portrait of him to him. 

This is my only way as an artist to show Mr. Marius Kurkinsky my respect of his theatrical art and how much he have been inspired me all over these years.

 

( This portrait will be send by post to Plovdiv-Drama Theater with a small classic written letter )

"Anniversary" - portrait

This is my last project already finished. My clients was asking me to make them a portrait for their first anniversary. The portraits are made for about three days. 

I decided to put on the picture background wall - paper.  I wanted "the sound" of the picture to looks like some kind of classic Russian realism style portrait. 

The couple is coming from Eastern Europe country so, that's why decided that this style will be very suitable for them ( as part of the history of their country ) plus this they are together for about 10 years - which means "classic" relationship . I wear them clothes of now time ( as  symbol of "new school" married couple ).

Caricatures Of Bulgarian Politicians

This is a personal portrait project. As a citizen of Bulgaria I care about my country's political situation. 

Bulgaria was under Communism for about 45 years until 1989. After this Communistic Party continue ruling the country under other name "Democracy". Same faces under new name. 

I am fed up with this. I still can not take it and understand how it is possible after 45 years silent pressure. Before '89 people were scared to speak free. Now it's 2012 and the situation is absolutely the same.

The project is not finished. These are three of Bulgarian major politic figures for the last 20 - 30 years. Bulgarian prime minister as a police dog; Bulgarian minister of the culture as a big monkey, and one of the "greatest" painters in my country (as a frog) who have always new that "The Party" is behind him.

These portraits-caricatures are my protest against all the these huge politic "mistakes" after 1989. I made them for one day each of it. Unfortunately they are just three by now, but hopefully soon they will be more.

Portrait of Arch. Vladislav Kostadinov

This is the final caricature of architect Vladislav Kostadinov. 

He contacted me to make him a portrait for a famous Bulgarian magazine where he was asked to write about his last architectural project. Arch.Vladislav Kostadinov is one of the new wave raises stars in Bulgarian contemporary architecture. He is the owner of  Studio 8 1/2   http://studio812.eu/ where you are welcome to see his work.

I made the portrait for two or three days. It took so long, because I was drawing 4-5 hours a day. The good thing is that the customer was very happy in the end.
