His paintings are well sought after by the discerning connoisseurs, young professionals and entrepreneurs with a sophisticated taste for vibrant and captivating colours and that unique Balkan perspective. His recent projects include exhibitions in the USA and the London Art Show. Miro about his art: Miro believes in self expression and is eluded by different symbols within the boundaries of classical realism and surrealism. His ambition is not to create a painting, but a lamp that shines in the eyes of the beholder. Our eye may enjoy the softness of the blending shades while our mind is having fun tending to discover the message of the story. What happens outside the body in the composition is just its addition, as if the author is searching the balance, the golden mean between the sense of the figure and the impact of this emotion in the background. Miro is not so much seeking the modern, the shocking, the incomprehensible, he is talking to us in a natural and divine language available for anyone and this is the reason why his works are desirable in private collection in Bulgaria and abroad. Others about Miro’s art: This multifaceted artist produces numerous artworks each year, spreading positive energy, creativity and kindness. His art tells stories that inspire and motivate the admirer to look at the bright side of life. The light in his paintings has a leading role. Miroslav’s paintings are honest, bold, complex, vivid and make one's imagination go into overdrive. His art is original and even though it might contain an element of realism, they always project metaphorical meaning. His style is unique – because of its Bulgarian origin and emotion, the brush strokes are well articulated and on occasions lustful, as if he is trying to seduce the viewer. This particular idiosyncrasy has won him accolades and admiration from his peers, critics and connoisseurs. His still life paintings can only be properly described as enigmatic. One can not fail to notice that his work in this area often accentuate the background in which they are set – tranquility juxtaposed against a vivid and energizing backdrop. It is his acceptance of tradition as a foundation that serves as catalyst or launch pad for his modern and liberal contributions to art. The viewer is drawn into a skillfully articulated presentation, sharp and concise, telling a story and allowing you to have a soul searching moment or a debate about your cognitive perception of his work. Above all, Miro gives you the opportunity and the rare luxury to have your own interpretation of his paintings – and that is a holistic achievement!! His paintings are taking us in one semi-real world, almost on the verge of the surrealism. He is presenting us his own views of the erotic, trying to spiritualize the female body and to focus on the symbols. His female characters rarely speak to us through their facial expressions. It’s mostly hidden, hinted, because the author wants us to pay attention to the captured body language, to the condition of the figure and to the personalization of the fitted model. | |||||
