[Artist] Ventzislav Dikov

Ventzislav Dikov

« I explore that moment when the mind is free to let the body create, allowing the objects of unclear purpose that inhabit the subconscious to come to the forefront. »

I am a Bulgarian self-taught artist, my main creative medium is oil painting. My works are often serialistic, consisting of small figures repeating themselves with slight variations or creating a bigger whole. I work both in figurative and abstract style. Human conditions and the subconscious are my main field of exploration. I also work with clay to create series of figures, usually exhibited along with my paintings. Being a musician too, I explore the integration of sound and vision in sculptural and kinetic installations. In a quasi-rational world, paintings themselves are objects of unclear purpose, up until the moment when they connect with someone.
