Vesselina Saranova
“I would say that my works embody a certain rhythm while conveying emotion. The intensity of the colors in my paintings is captured through layers of contours and lines. The graphic elements add energy to the narrative, dressing it in structure and form. My goal is to explore how this interaction materializes.”
