Street artists Stanislav Trifonov-Nasimo and Sve Yankov created a remarkable monumental portrait of Tsar Simeon the Great on the facade of the local technical high school, transforming the architectural surface into an artistic canvas.

The large-scale work with impressive dimensions of 13×7 meters was created in a week under extremely challenging meteorological conditions. The project's financing was realized through community support - nearly 7,000 leva from students, parents, and the pedagogical staff, supplemented with 4,000 leva from Nasimo's personal foundation.

The artists define the realization as a "color brick" within the large-scale initiative "The Great Wall of Bulgaria", whose main goal is to stimulate creativity among young generations and enrich the urban environment through contemporary visual art.

The mural is a strategic element of the school's preparation for the upcoming 60th anniversary, while simultaneously representing an innovative approach to integrating art into the educational space.
