About the artist Nikoleta Ivanova

Nikoleta Ivanova is a Bulgarian artist, who works mainly in the field of abstract scupture. During her art experience she tried different materials but mostly uses metal to accomplish her sculptural pieces. Nikoleta's sculptures vary in the size - from small interior creations to big scale outdoor "iron monsters". In the cold weather she stays at her home studio and uses the time to draw :)
