I was born on April 27, 1979 in Sofia, Bulgaria. I used to study classical dramatic theater at the National Theater Academy. I have been an actor in the National Theater of Bulgaria for 20 years. I have played many roles in cinema, theater and television. I have always taken pictures, but in 2019 it became my main occupation.
The moment came when I wanted to express myself through my art, not to be an interpreter, but to be a creator. To recreate my fantasies, my ideas and tell my stories. I have lived for many years in the plots and characters of the world's great authors. This deep insight into literature and drama helps me a lot as a photographer.I am looking for the images, the places, the atmosphere of the plays in which I have acted. I'm looking for special people with dramatic and interesting stories. Photography helps me get to know humanity in its complexity and scale and reveals my true self. It gives an image of everything that is inside me and that is hidden by my outer shell. It captures my human position and through photography I discover the meaningful path to follow.
