Contemporary art finds its new embodiment in the exhibition "Landscape Poetry" by Nadya Petrova, opened in the prestigious Burgas gallery "Petko Zadgorski". The works, created over the past two years, demonstrate an impressive transformation in the artist's aesthetic vision.
The artist reveals two parallel creative directions – a striving for maximum simplicity of form and simultaneously a constructive approach to visual art. "I try to generalize the form without adding too much narrative," Petrova shares in an exclusive interview.
Her philosophy is expressed in the free interpretation of visual elements. The tree, the house, or an arbitrary geometric form become a compositional instrument, subordinate to the overall artistic idea. This approach reveals a unique balance between abstraction and concreteness.
Color occupies a central place in Petrova's creative process. She defines it as an "extremely personal space" in which she experiments with various color palettes – from cold nuances through warm accents to black and white contrasts.
Her approach to marine themes is particularly interesting. Instead of realistic depiction, the artist seeks a stylized form that hints at marine space without dominating it. "The sea must be an essential part of the composition, but not its center," she explains.
The exhibition is marked by canvases that demonstrate a masterful command of minimalist language. Paintings with boats, landscapes with marine backgrounds, and geometric compositions reveal the inner world of the artist.
Petrova defines her method as a "process work", where intuition and professional technique intertwine. Her "Landscape Poetry" offers viewers an opportunity to rethink the traditional perception of space and form.
The exhibition at the "Petko Zadgorski" gallery continues to be proof of the dynamic development of contemporary Bulgarian visual art, where each artist seeks their unique voice.
