Location: Bulgaria

Born in 1990, I was always interested in the field of arts. My journey started through writing essays, then for a short time, teaching essay writing. Due to my essays' progressive nature, I was invited by one of the most famous Bulgarian progressive bands to write lyrics for their latest two albums, which was both a source of challenges and satisfaction. Playing piano and the guitar, my latest endeavor in the world of arts was to start painting. That is also the reason for joining Artavita. I focus on the polar opposites of impressionism and expressionism in my works, and hopefully the mix will be enjoyed by those of you, who like abstract and modern art.

Education: University degree in Strategic Planning
