Silvia Haralambova – artist from Bulgaria.

"I have inherited the love to art from my grandfather who was a textile designer at the textile factories all around the country.

As an artist and a person, acting with senses and feelings, I would say that art works speak more than words. I let my creations talk about themselves. They alone can show the ways and things which inspire and give me a fillip to do the works.

The contents of my paintings appear instinctively, spontaneously and naturally without prior preparation and planification. I paint on canvas, paper and hard boards. I am attracted by all the colors of the rainbow, and yet, my favorites are gold, orange, red, blue, yellow and the innumerable combinations of them all. Mixed media is one of my favourite mediums. I like to embed in my creations, both paintings and textiles, various natural materials, be it little stones, cracked sea shells, straw, wool, silk, cotton, plant fibres, etc.

Nature plays a great importance in my art. Artist need urges to provoke, enrich and develop their art life, so I am constantly aiming to broaden my artistic horizon by traveling to new and interesting places on earth.

In particular, my latest creations are inspired by the Blue of the seawater and of the sky that are so intense in the summer time. They take me to the shores of the beloved Aegean Sea."
