About Nikola Gulev

Nikola Gulev is young but already well known and acclaimed artist. He has won numerous awards and some of his paintings are already part of private collections in Bulgaria, Spain, Portugal and the United Kingdom.

As a talented and powerful figurative artist, Gulev boldly uses the brush to create influential, soulful, original works. He has developed strong social sense, which he invests in his paintings when choosing a topic. As a contemporary Georges de Latour, he seeks and flawlessly displays the inner light of the human soul.

Although Nikola loves to experiment, his style is easily recognizable, having its own specific imagery – fine drawing, pastel tones, tenderness of images, sensuality and unique aesthetics. The stunning monotony of his favorite colors is diversified by different details, suggesting a certain psychological depth of the painted images. The artist manages to create a micro climate in his paintings in order to keep the viewer’s alive in his/her perception. Faces, which we pass by indifferently, say nothing to us, we do not remember them. However, when the artist paints those faces on the canvas, suddenly they engage us, we start to recognize them. We try to unravel something on them, determine states of mind, feelings, experiences and then those faces become memories. Nikola Gulev has masterly created a gallery of characters that will challenge us with their secrets and truths and will awaken our sensitivity, adding value in each fine art piece.
