Many of you who know me mainly as a painter, might

Many of you who know me mainly as a painter, might be a bit surprised, but I have actually graduated in Ceramics from the National Academy of Art in Sofia (Bulgaria) and Sint Lucas Academy in Ghent (Belgium).
My high school was also art related. I graduated from high school with a major in Ceramics & Glass and later I studied Applied arts/Ceramics again.
So I studied Ceramics for about 9 years and got a Ceramics degree, but weirdly enough I haven't touched clay or glass ever since...

Today (16 years after graduation) I paid a visit to my professor of Ceramics Martin Petkov (see my story) at my/his atelier and it totally melted me away...

I took a cab to Students' town, where the Ceramics and Textile design ateliers were, but looking through the window, I couldn't recognize a thing.... I even told the taxi driver, he probably got the address wrong, but once I found the building and got inside - it was a perfectly preserved memory box, exactly like I remembered it ... Nothing had changed, just like in a time machine - the light smell of clay, turpentine, coffee, cigarettes and freshly washed floors brought me back to the happy days of my youth. I looked around and I could almost see the faces of my studentmates, partying like it's 2001 and could almost hear them laughing...

😌 Aaahh, what I wouldn't give now to be 20 years younger... 🥲

🚀👩‍🚀🌕 Is there a child from my generation and locality that didn't dream of becoming some kind of Yuri Gagarin? 🙃 Well, I guess this is about the closest I can ever get to the feeling of being in orbit, but still - it is quite spectacular!

Yes, it's true! My painting "Philip" is heading to the MOON!!! 🚀

🌛 One year ago at the beginning of the pandemic, noted Canadian physicist/writer/collector Dr. Samuel Peralta curated the exhibit SHELTER. In collaboration with 33 Contemporary Gallery and PoetsArtists platform, 'SHELTER' was an exhibit in direct response to the global pandemic, showing works that evoked shelter, solace, and safety.

Some days ago, towards the beginning of the end of the pandemic, THE LUNAR CODEX (digital collection of creative work - writing, film, and art) announced that the 76 artists from the exhibit 'SHELTER' are joining the collection 🌜

Here is a bit more information about the project, but please visit www.lunarcodex.com for real details (link in my bio):

🚀 NASA's Artemis program aims to put humans back on the Moon in 2024-2025, with a manned lunar base shortly thereafter. In preparation, they are sending lunar landers with scientific instruments to scout for good base sites. THE LUNAR CODEX project is ridesharing on the preparatory lunar landings, and is sending the works of 5000 contemporary creative artists in three LUNAR TIME CAPSULES:

🌙 THE PEREGRINE COLLECTION - Launching December 2021 (via United Launch Alliance / Astrobotic Technologies' Peregrine Lander)

🌙 THE NOVA COLLECTION - Launching January 2022 (via SpaceX / Intuitive Machines' Nova-C Lander)

🌙 THE POLARIS COLLECTION - Launching September 2023 (via SpaceX / Astrobotic Technologies' Griffin Lander)

My artwork will be preserved on the second lander mission (THE NOVA COLLECTION). Art images will be laser-etched on a tiny nickel microfiche, to be enclosed in a time capsule.
No terrestrial catalogue exists of SHELTER - it exists exclusively as part of a lunar edition nickel microfiche (with more than ~200,000 dpi), which will be launched in the first quarter of 2022 🚀

Please, continue reading in the coments:
