Artist Recognition
Artist featured in a collection
The above painting is based on a central detail of the icon of Christ the All-bearing, (Pantocrator) in the Monastery of St. Catherine of Sinai, Egypt, the oldest surviving image from the iconoclastic period of the 6th century. The reason I reinterpret the image is that in my eyes Christ wears the halo of a modern MMA fighter - both self-sacrificing but also part of a bloody spectacle. Maybe the need to see the fighter in him , is not just mine. To emphasize and make this recognition visible I added the deformed ears. So called wrestling, or broken ears (cauliflower ears), typical of athletes who practice contact sports or mixed martial arts. Even these alone are enough to date my work to the present day, where every war has a "sacred" character, and the battles for (Christian) humanity seem more and more like a lost, and therefore even more necessary, cause. This painting also, visually and meaningfully, unites two of my cycles of work - Metacanon (2005-2014) and No Time For Losers (2019-)

Bulgaria
Based in Sofia, Bulgaria, i work with various subjects of the day often with the means of sharp irony. The iconography I use possess harsh and critical imagery. It’s all about stakes, skills and storyteling. Figurative contemporary art with a fine touch of social message, humor and artist condition message. When are we more sincere - when we lose or when we win? I examine the personal and the external, the conscious and the unconscious reducing the distance between the portrait and the self-portrait, the present and the past. Tracing the changing attitude towards the themes of freedom, carelessness, responsibility, guilt.
