Girl from the North (2019) Photographie par Blago Simeonov

     Born in Bulgaria in 1934, I didn't waste much time and started drawing. One surviving relic has lasted to be in this gallery (Siegfried the Nibelung on his white-maned stallion). Then came high school with endless forbidden drawing during class, light hand caricatures and... music. Later started attempts to express what I feel about the world around me, mostly the people, present and past, the big events great and tragic, wars... Then started my putting together of these visual results with music I composed and poems I wrote. Out of the blue (dark) came hard fought for one artist exhibitions FUGA IDEARUM in Warsaw (Aleje Jerozolimskie), with Gustaw Holoubek narrating, Prague (National Museum), with Zdenek Stepanek narrating, Sofia (Artists Union) yours truly narrating. In all three capitals people and the press liked the "spectacle in exhibition hall". Scores of newspaper reviews and reproductions of the artworks, some of them on two full pages (Szpilki, Warsaw), also magazines, national radio and television obliged with positive reviews for the unknown creature I was. A group of professors in the Akademie múzických umění  entered in the book an embarrassingly high praise... 

      Music took precedence the following years.  Recently the visual reflection of what I see and feel has been claiming my attention and time, including the great power of photography. 

Contemplating new creative directions in step with the contemporary world scene, I thank you for stopping to look at what I have.
