Ciril Stoev - Sofia, Bulgaria
I was born in Bulgaria in a quiet, middle class family with very kind and understanding parents. They are really supportive and encourage me and help me in every possible way.
I work in different mediums - painting, photography, fashion design, costume, but there are always some permanent sources of inspiration. These are other forms of art, like cinema, music and literature. About the latter, I am considerably influenced by William Shakespeare’s work, the tragedies in particular. I read “Macbeth” for first time when I was twelve years old and there are several scenes that are etched in my consciousness.
But the above would have been of little consequence for an artist if his or her creativity didn’t lay on personal experiences on both physical and emotional level. Fortunately, that is not my case. Everything I do, regarding painting especially, is profoundly intimate.
Boyan - It’s been such a long time since we’ve had a post on CrimsonKaie. I’m very happy to be [hopefully] restarting our features with Ciril’s deeply emotional work.
