Iliana Ilieva
"I believe that art has the power to build bridges, but also to destroy borders, to disarm, but also to be a blade."
Contemporary artist who works in the field of hyperrealistic and conceptual painting. Observer, visionary, storyteller, documentarian, provocateur. Skillfully weaves traditional oil painting techniques into a contemporary context. Inspired by photography, Iliana builds meditative, almost illusionistic images of well-known objects and images such as saddles, boxing gloves, horses, bulls, statues, giving them a deep emotional meaning.
Messages related to pacifism, authenticity, integrity and hope.
