Artist, Bulgarian, born 1944

The image shows swirling lines and overlapping shapes, creating an abstract composition. The dense, dark strokes form figures that resemble human forms engaged in movement. The backdrop features vertical lines that can be interpreted as a barrier. Throughout the artwork, there are gestural marks hinting at limbs and faces.
