Description: Stoimen Stoilov Deep imagery and wise messages bring us this artist's paintings. They resurrect pieces of beauty and remind us of the everlasting human values. His paintings are very poetic, they are about the images beyond, raised above the level of earth's ordinary life. "The painting is an open space - everyone can enter and develop it with his imagination" is the artist's message to the art lovers.

With his original artistic language, this great master seems to squeeze the layers of dirt accumulated by time and presents life scenes, generously dazzled with colors and shapes.
