The education is diferent from my way as an artist. There is no Google Maps for the directions in life…

From which authors do you get inspiration?

The inspiration comes from qualities, not from authors themselves. I like a lot of contemporary artists and I learn from each of them. I didn’t like Galleria degli Uffizi. I visited Tate Modern two times for a week. I watched Dali’s art in Sofia, in Istanbul and London. I’m really keen on Pollock and Rothko. I was very excited from Miro Foundation in Barcelona. And from Picasso Gallery with his youth paitings. I was going about the Venice Biennale more than a week. In Bulgaria I like Nedko Solakov and many others…
