The Exhibition “Dream as Reality” in Burgas: The Art of Young Artists from the National Academy of Arts

On March 16th (Monday) at 5:00 PM in the "Hristo Fotev" hall of the "Morsko Casino" Cultural Center in Burgas, the exhibition "Dream as Reality" will be opened, showcasing works by students from the specialties "Painting", "Graphics", "Book, Illustration, Print Graphics" and "Poster and Visual Communication" at the National Academy of Arts - Burgas Branch.

The exhibition is part of an annual initiative by the students, which began in 2024, and presents the public with current questions and problems that concern young authors. The students are actively involved in the preparation of the entire conceptual exhibition project, going beyond the work in the studios and the creation of the artwork itself - a valuable experience for their growth as professional artists.

In 2024, the exhibition "Evolution 6" was presented, which focused on the six abstract categories of the physical and emotional development of the individual and nature - from the womb to death. A year later, in 2025, the young artists explored the paradox of the beginning, not as a specific starting point, but as an endless process, and the results of their work were shown in the exhibition "The Beginning as Infinity".

In 2026, the authors' attention is directed to the figure of the artist and the fruit of his work in the "waking dream" of everyday life, his development and self-knowledge. "Dream as Reality" is a product of the students' inspiration in the ongoing daily life, the sea, the cycle of emotions and experiences, their development as individuals and creators. The educational and free works presented in the exhibition cover a wide range of visual arts - painting, graphics, illustration, poster and collage.

About art and their pursuits, the young authors share: "For us, it is salvation and inspiration in this fast-paced way of life. We wanted to look philosophically at things, inspired by the problems of the recurring cycle of everyday life and how a young creator feels under this weight. The works of each participant are interpreted in an individual way. Each of us is different in character and temperament, but it is the love of art that unites us.".

The exhibition participants are: Marina Dreharova, Raya Puhleva, Gergana Boncheva, Stefan Stoyanov, Anna Egosina, Ivanka Stanilova, Bozidar Nikolov, Ivan Natskov, Anna Maria Stankova, Eva Zekovich, Ralitsa Apostolova, Nikol Dzhalieva, Donika Ivanova, Toni Kazandzhiev, Yoana Kuseva, Anna Khmelnitska, Vasilisa Raspanova, Alexandra Yankova, Kirena Fedosova, Yovana Temelkova, Meri Raykova, Dimira Kirova, Bozhidara Bivolarska, Martina Boyadzhieva, Nikoleta Dragieva, Iliyana Baneva.
