Biography and stuff:

aaaaaLong ago in a distant land I was born. They call it Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria. I am in the top 10 of the biggest ego-maniacs in the world and everything that I do is amazing. When I was 13 my partents and I moved to Vratza, a small town where I graduated at the local highschool, studying a lot of English. After that I returned in my hometown to further my education in the field that I have always been attracted to – Visual Arts.
aaaaaThe next two years I spent developing my skills in design at the Technical University of Sofia – ranked among the most prestigious in the country (not joking). During that period I was able to expand my vision taking various courses from Drawing, Color Studies and Shape forming to Aesthetics and Company Culture. That was a very influential part of my life, but there was something oppressive starting to shape in my mind. I felt that I am living in a social environment where most people fear the risk of failure so much that they cannot attempt anything new.
aaaaaI sensed that the time of the next challenge has come so I decided to participate in a Work & Travel Program and to taste the American style of life. That proved to be one of the most significant decisions in my life so far. I realized that by turning my back on routines and by taking risks, I could achieve things I never considered or thought possible. For 4 months I worked in a small town called Keystone, a mile away from the Mount Rushmore National Monument, South Dakota. I enjoyed myself so much that the next summer I found myself back in the United States. I spent a total of 9 great months in the United States working and visiting 13 different states.
   aa   After my American odyssey I returned home and decided that it is time for a professional career. In October 2003 I was lucky to become a part of an international team of graphic designers, called Clipart DeSIGN. Based in Bulgaria, but having employees all over the world using the Internet, this organization was giving me the chance to share thoughts and knowledge with different people from different countries. I am an author of more than 2000 clipart graphics that can be seen and bought at our web page.
   aa   Alongside my new exciting job I continued my education and defended my Final Project and got my Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering Design in June 2005. I am an Engineer, yes. It says it in my diploma. After a couple of months of wandering I applied and was accepted to study in the States. I arrived in New York in January 2006, looking for a new challenge.
  aa    Currently I am studying Electronic Design and Multimedia at the City College of the City University of New York. In my first semester at City College I studied Fine Arts and concentrated on series of works based on an idea that came to me rather accidentally - painting and drawing on objects that I found on the streets. I consider that to be a very significant moment in my career as an artist. Expressing my ideas on found objects turned to be something that I really enjoyed throughout the semester. During that period I did many creations on found objects – wooden boards, panels, etc. As it was my first semester I felt free to investigate and explore different media – spilled ink and more traditional techniques as acrylic painting on canvas and drawings on different surfaces.
    aa   But my passion has always been animation. After a semester in the Fine Arts Program I transfered to Electronic Design and Multimedia, where I could have more time to animate. My artwork has been always influenced by comics and cartoons. After my arrival in the States I discovered Flash, the animating tool that I thank for all my creations recently.
          Good sources for inspiration in my artwork are dreams. This is something that I have always been very interested at. The last seven years I am spending a lot of time investigating this process and how it reflects our daily experience. By discovering my own technique, sometimes I am able to set a theme for a dream and it often works, so I can dream what I want. Usually what I am left with after I wake up and spend some time concentrating is a short passage that I remember in details and is related to what I wanted to dream. This helps me to put together the rest of the dream like a puzzle. The whole process includes alarm clocks and careful planning and I do not recommend this to people who like to enjoy their strong nine hour night sleep. Some of the artwork that I create is subordinate to this dreaming investigation. It is not working perfectly recently but I have a long list of dreams that I have wrote down in previous experiences.

          Enough with this foolishness for now. Oh, yeah, I've been to 26 American States so far.
