The idea for the exhibition, for the project “Diagonals” and its name is coming from the both ends of the European continent. The trajectory of airplane flights between Bulgaria and Great Britain gave its name to this project. Part of the paintings were painted in Varna and part – in London, at Trinity Art Studios, a wonderful place for creativity and meeting artists on the banks of the Thames.

Born on December 21, 1961 in the town of Beloslav, Varna region Plamen Monev graduated from the National High School of Plastic Arts and Design „Academician Dechko Uzunov“ in Kazanlak and the National Academy of Arts in Sofia with Prof. Petar Mihailov with a degree in Fine Arts.

The artist shares about himself:

“I am a happy person. My work and my pleasure are the same – to paint. Painting is one of the ways to react to the world around us, to share what we like, what impresses us, what we love.”

We kindly invite you to come and enjoy together the art and the world vision, through the eyes of Plamen Monev.
