003 - Zlatyu Boyadzhiev

The third episode is here! 🧑‍🎨 Zlatyu Boyadzhiev's story is marked by several painful events, but one specific incident serves as a defining moment in his life and artistic journey. Although they share a common theme, the two phases in Zlatyu's creative work radically differ in his drawing style. Since childhood, he has been drawn to the fields, the massive and smooth curves of the Rhodope Mountains, people, and animals. Many childhood memories will later find a place in his paintings. 🎧 Listen to the episode on your preferred podcast platform or our website: https://www.contours.bg/en/episodes/003 💭 Whatever you take away from the story, we'd love to hear it.
