The exhibition „Written – Unwritten“ is part of my larger project „Negentropy“, in which, against the rules of entropy,
I try to create order, sense and also some sort of ordered aesthetics out of disorder. It is partly recycling art project because the materials from which I create painting objects are found in a given place, city, region and processed for artistic purposes.
The presented painting objects were inspired by the Danube river, the aesthetics of Bulgarian folk, archaeological finds, the function of literature and various forms of recording events and human thought and the mystery of the passing time. In the background we can hear the hum of the magnificent Danube accompanying the exhibition. River that has been looking at humanity for thousands of years and invariably hitting the shores like a natural clock, measuring the passing time.
