Opening: April 16th, 6:30 pm

The creative cycle "There Somewhere" is part of the search and discovery of new imaginary spaces. Dimitar Petrov's paintings easily awaken associations for the existence of a completely new place, which is at the same time related to our familiarity. Through his almost abstract visual language, the artist builds a dreamy, free from the constraints of reality, a haven for personal feelings and an anxious but also inviting viewer to feel part of it. Dimitar Petrov's work is related to the great question of man and his place in space, through which he maps interior spaces. His paintings are sensual, through colors and compositions he creates an allusion that provokes a certain feeling. Through his harsh, sometimes shameless juxtapositions of color and form, he expresses with youthfulness the expanses of imagination.

Dimitar Petrov has completed a mural painting, and in his characteristic layers and deprivations, his invariable connection with it is delicately stolen. "There Somewhere" is another step in the creative path of an artist who has long found himself as an artist and is heading in a fully conscious direction.

"I felt that I was discovering for myself not only the author but also the elusive sensation of a painting, which we call inertia abstract, but in its essence is made up of certain feelings and excitements that turn its non-figurative beginning into a concrete state of mind! This painting is as self-contained and autonomous as a plastic principle outside of traditional reality, as real as human excitement. I would define the world before the beginning - the space beyond time, materialized in plastic by the unknown laws of personal energy and sensitivity. A mental space where timeless calls to specific signs such as a torn sheet carried away by the wind of time. " - Academician Svetlin Rusev

"Dimitar Petrov is from that generation of Bulgarian painters, who raises again and again the question of individuality, for the purposes of creativity, for the essence of art, for the ways of conveying the message and for the principles of cultural communication today." - Dimitar Grozdanov

"In Dimitar Petrov's painting we find the strong charge of artistic freedom and sensory associativity. The author's characteristic approach to the construction of the composition brings the specific character of the artist with a strong sense of color and compositional control of the space. The expression of his inner hidden energy is his taste for the unsuspecting power of color, the delicate transitions and transitions from tone to tone and the attainment of energetic states of strong expression in expression. " - Diana Draganova
