” . . . doors inherently hold significant symbolism.
They serve as a bridge between the artist and the viewer,
representing obstacles, borders, but also the inception
of a journey, self-discovery…
All of this compels the viewer to approach
the artwork, to empathize, and to actively
engage in the unfolding narrative.”
– Svetlin Sofroniev

Sofroniev told us about his passion for waterolor and included a step-by-step example of his work.
“My first teacher was a watercolor master, and that was the beginning of my journey with this medium. The most important lesson I’ve learned is not to be afraid of the water—after all, watercolor is a water-based medium. I learned to work with a lot of pigment and water, embracing the fluidity and spontaneity that make watercolor so unique. Yes, I work with other mediums as well, but I always strive to capture a watercolor-like impression and feeling in them, too.
