PLAMEN KAPITANSKI

20 oil on canvas paintings
sizes ranging from 64/81 cm to 180/130 cm
Mostly from the Mystical Dreams series

ARTIST'S BIOGRAPHY
One of the most acknowledged Bulgarian artists, he was born in the capital Sofia on the 18 April 1964. His first painting experience goes back to 1968 when he was only four. His love to art inevitably motivated him to join the Bulgarian State College of Art, where he graduated in 1983. From 1985 to 1991 he studied at the Bulgarian Academy of Fine Arts and graduated in Mural Painting. Apart from this main creative subject, Mr Kapitanski never left the parallel path of painting and drawing, which finally brought him to the stage of a respected modern artist, where we see him now. The definitely provoking and individual style of his paintings, not classifiable by any modern trend, has appealed to an audience of non-conventional experts of art. It is only natural that his work can be found in numerous private collections and galleries in Bulgaria and other countries:
- National Art Gallery in Sofia;
- Private collections in USA, England, Austria, Germany, Holland, France, Czech Republic.
