Rumen Kozhuharov

I'm a fourth generation of artists. Born in 1990, I began to paint in my earliest life and made painting a major part of my entire life. Dreaming to become an artist and designer, dedicated all my early years to develop my drawing skills and my sense of colors. During university studies, education in the various interdisciplinary programs in design and fine arts, I've visited all the creative workshops about shaping the environment around us. My main interests in the field of art are mixed with the passions for visual semiotics and cognitive psychology. During different research of the signs and the symbols in art, I've spend a lot of time exploring the brush strokes and the trace that the various paints and materials are leaving. The human creature has always lived in a nature and has been surrounded by distinctive material expressions on every surface. The texture of the paint and the painted eccentric lines are in a conflict with the extreme understandings about the color science and the color psychology. Working in the various fields of painting, mural painting, interior and graphic design, I participated in 20+ significant projects. I had 7 solo art exhibitions and had been a part of more than 40 group exhibitions.
