"Exhibiting You" - Author
Lidia Simeonova
City, State: Shelby Twp., MII was born and grew up in Bulgaria, and earned a Masters of Fine Arts from Velico Tarnovo University of Fine Art. I have lived in Czechoslovakia and Germany and came to the United States in 1994. My paintings have been in many national and international shows, where I received recognition and numerous awards. Today my portfolio reflects a variety of mediums and style. My paintings from Bulgaria differ greatly from what I produced in Germany or America. I spent many years as an abstract artist, but the human figure has always persisted in the creative process. Now human expression and relationships are the leading thoughts when I take a brush or pencil. I am trying to create work in which life and painting blend in a perfect existential poem. I want to present the viewer with a harmonious, contemplative image, which speaks to the spiritual complexities of our existence. Edmond Demirdjian
