Borislava MARCHEVA
Borislava Marcheva was born in 1991 in Burgas, where she graduated from the English High School.
She left to continue her education in England, but her studies were interrupted because of a diagnosed mental disorder.
Drawing is part of her treatment and a constant vocation to this day.
She works in her home, which is her only gallery. Her pantings are seen only by her closest people and family. Borislava says she sees them as separated pieces of herself that change her in new ways in the outside world. She calls them "mirrors of my subconscious, in which I manage to read my own thoughts that I cannot otherwise utter."
In the mornings, she often draws visions from her dreams. Sometimes, the storylines are the fruits of whimsical worlds that she dreams up together with her fiancé Adam. Other times, the drawing "goes off on its own" from an impulse, an uncontrollable emotion that turns into symbols and images.
She creates peculiar worlds where animals come to life in her paintings, together with fairy-tale characters and non-existent creatures that tell fantastic stories.
