"When I first came to Bulgaria I was amused by this vibrant, emblematic, and fascinating country. Living here and experiencing their customs and traditions first hand has helped me to observe beyond the surface and interpret visually the magic of Bulgaria and its relationship with other member states in the EU. Now I live here and record life the way it’s presented to me. It’s indeed a discovering process. In my photographs I recollect the Bulgarian experience in its colorful tonalities, uniqueness, and enchanted mood."
