About Georgi Nikov

 
 
  • Biography

    Born on 3 May 1997 Georgi Nikov is an artist based in Sofia,Bulgaria. As a student from the National School of Applied Arts in Sofia, Bulgaria, he learned various techniques in the field of Advertising and Graphic Design alongside painting and drawing academic works. His works were exhibited to numerous cultural places in Bulgaria and Europe. In 2016 he had his first solo exhibition at the gallery of The European Commission in the city of Sofia. In which he featured eleven high-scaled artworks. In the same year, he was commissioned to create twelve unique paintings from his hometown for a 2017 calendar by the German Company PM Engineering. Currently, he is a BA in Graphic Design & Art Direction student at Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti in Milano. He believes coming to Italy is the best decision he made in order to follow his artistic passion. His exhibition called “ A Touch of Now and Then” represents artworks dating from the year 2015 all the way to 2018 with his very recent ones. He sees the world as a canvas, a place that waits for the creator to fill it with colors. The artist depicts landscapes and cityscapes, using palette knives and brushes with heavily textured paint. It is not uncommon for him sometimes to create works with mixed-media techniques, such as - acrylic paint with pencil and acrylic paint and paper on canvas.
