Bogdan Dyulgerov
Biography
Bogdan Dyulgerov was born in 1965 in the town of Sliven Bulgaria. In 1989 he has graduated from the Medical College in Varna as a Dental Technician. Since then Bogdan has actively been practicing his profession. His passion for painting dates back to the years of his childhood. The most significant moment in his creative journey was when Bogdan painted his first abstract works and he realised that paintings happen by themselves, through him but not by him. He stopped "forcing the canvas'' and since then his works came to life. Bogdan's interest in sculpture began during his high school years. Bronze is his favourite material. His first bronze sculptures were cast while he was a student in the Medical
College. Since 2008 Bogdan Dyulgerov has been living and working in Malta
Artist Statement
I believe that art is a form of energy and the artist’s role is to materialize this energy, to give it shape. It’s a kind of a stream of information that passes through the artist as if through a portal. When the portal is open for me, I start to create. The information flows, time is not enough, and I often paint several pictures simultaneously. I never force the moment or the nature of the process. I let the pictures happen and resonate. Most of my paintings are abstract and when I work I aim to combine colours and nuances which "love each other" in such a way that the painting would echo beautifully. I perceive myself as a musician. I strive to create music for the eyes. I am often asked whether the artist or the sculptor in me prevails. It usually turns out that after a long period of painting I start to feel depleted and at that point I know that it’s time to create a sculpture. My desire is for my audience to feel the positive energies and emotions in my paintings and to feel entertained, as I was feeling when I was working on them.
