Boyan Bolyarski

Occupation - portraitist. I paint mostly with oil paints, but I did and "pastel" period. Destination of the workplace - Sunny Beach. While the profession "street artist" is despised by the guild, to the dismay of my teacher Gregory Spiridonov - light his finger, despite 15 years I was there. And no scruples I can say that this job has taught me things that would not be going to university, things that everyone must find for yourself. Small secrets beyond academic stereotypes. They always let you step ahead. Well, I am grateful to this period, although it was very difficult and full of experiences. This period has made me what I am. Now it's time to work to your soul.

She pursued her own path of enrichment, comparison, and no emulation, heading more and more to a totally personal style, which is used to convey her ideas and feelings through her works.

Michael Shapcott, 1982

Michael Shapcott, born in Hartford, Connecticut, is a Central Connecticut-based painter, known for his daring color palette and emotionally charged portraits. His work deals with highly detailed graphite underdrawings which he then paints with colorful washes in oil and acrylic paints. In addition to painting, Shapcott creates art videos that track the process of painting a painting and show his unique style of working. Shapcott studied illustration for two years before switching to fine arts for the remainder of his studies at Paier College of Art in Hamden, Connecticut, graduating in 2007 with a diploma in Fine Arts. He credits his education for basic technical experience but feels that only in breaking some of the traditional methods he was taught and experimenting on his own did he develop the confidence, unique voice and style he continues to expand upon today.
