I was born 1955 in Sofia, Bulgaria where I received MFA in Fine Arts from the Sofia?s National Fine Arts University in 1980.
Since 1986 I have been living and working as a graphic designer in Los Angeles, specializing in animation films, movie posters and satiric drawings.
I publish and exhibit my abstract sidewalks photographs nationally and internationally.
In addition to my fine art photography work, I create abstract paper collages with which I participates in exhibitions in USA and Europe.

It was in November 2004 when I walked on a sidewalk in Hollywood, California and took my first close-up picture of a sidewalk curb detail. Soon after that I found myself consumed by the desire to find more of these curious sidewalk appearances.
I do not use Photoshop enhancements and artificial lighting. I often return to the same spot over and over again and take the same photograph at different time of the day to ensure that I have chosen the most appropriate natural lighting. My favored time to look for new sidewalk images is after rain in Los Angeles when the colors over the wet cement are much more alive and brighter.

I photograph unique details found in the urban landscapes. The images I discover are found on the sidewalks that we walk on daily and that otherwise go unnoticed. My images are abstract interpretations of the micro-reality that surrounds us all. I do not use Photoshop enhancements and artificial lighting. I often return to the same spot over and over again to reshoot the same photograph at different times of the day to ensure that I have chosen the most appropriate lighting.
