Georgi Milenov Exhibition opening 30 October 2017, Curator prof. Axinia Dzhurova
Georgi Milenov Georgiev was born on 15 August 1984 in Troyan Bulgaria. In 2002 he graduated the Special School for Applied Arts in Troyan. During 2007 he completed his studies at the National Art Academy under the guidance of prof. Krassimir Dzhidrov. When I was a kid I was keen on going to museums. There my favorite activity was staring at the prehistoric Venuse figurines and Greek painted pottery, feeling inspired by the magic called Art. I was fascinated. It was more interesting for me than fairy tales and cartoons. Some years later I had the opportunity to touch clay again, and this touch has been giving me emotion since those days. As well as the whole working process. As I start with a piece of clay, which passes through my hands, the fire in the ceramics furnace, and finally – its location at the pedestal. While I am doing my work it is a real challenge for me to create the ultimate shape, to play with the proportions, and at the end to seek the aesthetics in each curve and every little detail. Up to the moment when I’m able to visualise the piece of art finalized, when my eyes and mind assume the whole masterpiece as and а utopic shape.
