Nikolinka Dimitrova
I am a very sensitive person, with very strong empathy. I always strive for perfection, as a person and as a professional. I am almost constantly learning and acquiring new knowledge and skills, both as an artist and as a person, and I want to pass on that richness and beauty to people. I want to provoke thought or touch and move. My paintings always have a philosophical intent embedded and are never literal. Each painting is a message and has its own meaning encoded in the visual elements. The title of the painting is usually the key to any visual message.
