I am from beautiful Bulgarian city on the Danube, Ruse, where Elias Canetti was born too. After I finished Gymnasium there, I began to study painting at the Art Academy in Sofia and graduated in 1980. I had worked for various Bulgarian publishing houses as illustrator and book designer, including Publishing house of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences - Sofia. Now I live in Bulgaria's capital Sofia. Since 2001, I have my own publishing company. I have daughter and two wonderful grandchildren - Danny and Dea. I am fluent in Russian language. My greatest hobby and passion is children's illustrations and to study the biographies of great artists.
