Forfatter: DIAN PETROV, født 1984 i VELIKO Tarnovo.
"My forest"IThe canvas comes rolled up in a tube, well packaged.I send with Bulgarian Post but it has not been possible to America for two or three months. Now, because of the war, some of the countries in the Middle East have stopped delivering there. So if someone takes the painting from these two destinations, the shipping price will be different. Hilsen til alle.
Signature, certificate.I have used acrylic paints, oil paints, and oil pastels.
“My Forest” is a painting born from my feeling for nature as a living and personal space. My idea was to create not just a forest, but a place that exists inside me — full of colors, energy and memories. Through bright tones and free forms, I show the forest as I feel it — magical, different and full of life. Each color is a part of my inner experience and my personal world.
This is one of my paintings that was in my last exhibition at the Grand Hotel Sofia. The painting is very beautiful in life and has beautiful colors.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE ARTIST

Dian graduated from the National High School of Applied Arts "Trevnenska Shkola", majoring in woodcarving, and then from the Faculty of Fine Arts at the University of Veliko Tarnovo. He has long been fascinated by wood, its warmth and coziness. His skillful hands have sculpted the iconostases of more than three temples in different villages in the region. His work is the carved altar screens of the churches "St. John of Rila" in Petko Karavelovo, "Holy Ascension of Christ" in Radanovo and "Holy Nativity of the Virgin" in Polski Trambesh. Some of the holy images he created are now owned by private collectors in Greece and Italy. He learned the intricacies of icon painting from his grandfather Dimitar Kosev, who was a self-taught artist. It was from him that the Tarnovo native inherited his passion for art and his gift for painting.
“I love experimenting in art and allowing myself different freedoms both as a means of expression and as a technique. In my paintings, I use nets, leaves, soil, plastic. I have painted different images even on cardboard boxes. And my attempt to make a painting on marble turned out to be the most difficult,” the artist smiles.
Contemporary art with its unlimited creative freedom has attracted Dian Petrov for years. Initially, the young artist painted ordinary landscapes, then he was provoked by spontaneous realism, and now his paintings are the embodiment of abstractionism and postmodernism.
The art of the Tarnovo native is already well known to connoisseurs in our country and abroad. He has had solo exhibitions in Sofia, Plodovik, Veliko Tarnovo, etc. He has also participated in many general exhibitions in Bulgaria and abroad. His paintings delight connoisseurs throughout Bulgaria, as well as private collectors abroad, who regularly buy his paintings! He also participated in exhibitions in Hungary in 2024, a solo exhibition at the Grand Hotel Sofia. In 2025, a general exhibition in London at Theholyartgallerie.solo exhibition at Grand Hotel Sofia 2026.
