My name is Petya- a Bulgarian-Swedish self-taught artist, creating abstract vibrant and often textural paintings in oils, acrylics or soft pastels. Here I post upcoming art events, art exercises and my original artworks. The later can also be found on Instagram: . You're to follow me here and/or on Insta. My art journey started with private lessons in oils at the age of 26 in Sofia,
Bulgaria, where I'm born and raised. In 2017, I've taken classes in acrylics in Australia; in 2023 in soft pastels. My first exhibition was in Malmö Gamla Stan in 2016. I work on my skills regularly, take commissions and participate in local exhibitions. My inspiration comes from the variety in nature, moments of love & care, freedom etc. In my creative process, I paint with fingers, use unconventional tools as well as a palette knife; experiment to get the effect I am after. I work intuitively by letting the colors and forms lead, or I start with a specific idea that I let it evolve in my process.
