Born in 1984 in Yambol, Bulgaria, Trayana Panayotova is an artist working in various fields of fine arts. In parallel, the search is focused on recycled paper sculpture, paper collage and painting. After graduation, the figure is present in her works as the main building block. Gradually, purely abstract fields began to appear in the collages as a way of expression, while the paintings and canvases retained their figurativeness for a long time. Inspired by eternal existential themes, the figures are delicately constructed of thin lines in monochrome colors, laconic, transparent. In 2020, the plot line in her art undergoes a certain transformation, the reason for which is the view of nature. Moving to live and work in the countryside leads to a change in her paintings. Surrounded by the fauna, peace and quiet of the place, her art takes a new path. The artist shares: "I would define 2020 as a sip of freedom in my creative process. I felt how important it is for the artist not to measure time by hours, days ... 2020 was reflected in the power of the freedom to experiment. Experiment is at the forefront of my work. I think the sense of movement in the unknown leads to creativity in the art world.
