On May 8 from 7 PM at Tea Gallery a painting exhibition opens to present the young and talented Bulgarian artist Vili Nikolov. The theme ‘Maidens and Bells’ unites 27 canvases, on which the artist has created an eternal and fantastic world, populated by maids and lads, shepherds and kukeri, white churches and cosy houses, black sheep and motley cocks.
The exhibition will last until May 29 2008 in Tea Gallery, Sofia, 10 Dimitar Hadjikotsev Str.
On 12 May from 6 PM in Dali art centre in Plovdiv the exhibition of knitted puppets made by Svetla Hristova will be opened.
The 52 years old artist has given the name to the exhibition ‘Meeting the mayor, the teacher and the priest’. This is a hobby for Svetla Hristova. Her inspiration comes from her children and her grandson. All puppets are knitted or weaved with a lot of desire and love and represent Bulgarians’ favorite fairy tale heroes.
The message that the artist leaves is a hint and a light reminder of the past.
