Alfia Kircheva is a Bulgarian contemporary artist, born in 1978 in Moscow, where she received her education as a painting teacher. In 2003, the artist migrated to Bulgaria. Since completing her professional training, Alfia has been participating in many regional and international exhibitions. Exhibitions took place in Russia, France, Canada, Italy, and Bulgaria. One of her paintings is permanently displayed in the State Ethnographical Museum in Varna, Bulgaria. She is a member and one of the founders of the Commonwealth of Female Artists in Bulgaria. Alfia works in a variety of techniques - watercolor, graphics, textiles and oil painting. The most important thing for Alfia is the image of a person in his different life situations and in the variety of emotional experiences. In her works she focuses on conveying human nature and state of mind through the naked body. Currently, Alfia is engaged in teaching painting, interior design and social activities related to the Commonwealth of Female Artists, which she runs.
Friends, colleagues and art lovers! My colleagues and I are creating a new formation that has no analogues in our country. This is the Union of Women Artists in Bulgaria. The organization is currently in the process of registration, and we will be happy to announce the start of work in a few weeks.
GETTING CLOSER…
Contemporary world presumes that we are gеtting more and more alienated and enclosed, slipping away from each other. We are keeping social distancing, hiding our faces under medical and social masks.
GETTING CLOSER…
We are losing our connections. Losing our binds that bind us to each other. Our binds that bind us to our inner selves.
GETTING CLOSER…
Psychologists are ringing the alarm bell! “As a result of the COVID pandemic situation and all
the limitations imposed by it (masks, distancing etc) the level of depressive and anxiety disorders is constantly growing. Ergo, hurt that abides in our souls mirrors in our bodies. We are trying to “switch off” our sensual functions just for survival’s sake… And lose the sense of closeness not only with the others – but with ourselves. “This inner trauma of the basic contact with our bodies cannot help affecting psychical and sexual spheres of our personalities”, - says OliesyaYampolsky (graduated psychiatrist, psychologist, sexologist).
GETTING CLOSER!
We would like to help you to return this precious connection to your inner world, to the depth of your self-perception. To help you to reconnect with your body, with your senses, with your insights and creative revelations, with your unconscious selves. We hope to restore these binds with the means of art and of physical binding.
We hope that the way of SHIBARI can help us to reach this goal.
SHIBARI, the ancient Japanese practice of rigging, teaches us how a bodily binding can make us free, can teach us to see and perceive our spiritual selves. How it teaches us to trust each other.
Doctor Yampolsky believes that Shibari can restore one’s contacts to their body, their sensibility and even their contact with sexual part of their self.
The new experience raises us up to a new level of mutual trust and to extend personal boundaries, being a remedy for deep spiritual wounds. Woundscaused by social plagues.
SO… GETTING CLOSER! And even more and more CLOSER!
We will become your guides on the way of creation, we will help you to keep balance on the thin rope while you’ll make your way to the world of self-perception and sensibility.
Here we are, your guides to closeness:
