Rakursi Art Gallery presents from the 8th to the 20th March 2016 the latest works of Rosen Rashev – Roshpaka. The artist is known for his naïve “sewn” pictures made of natural materials. His works are inspired by nature and childhood in his native region, of Christian and pagan rituals. Author’s technique comprises of backstitch, running stitch, applique. His works illustrate Roshpaka’s philosophy: “I want people to learn about my sunny soul. And I am trying to transfer this positivism of mine in my work.”
The artist lives in a small town in North-west Bulgaria. His connection to the land, the silence and the simple things gives him the joy of life that radiates from his works.
The focus of the present exhibition is that everyone has their own path that he walks according to his choices and with the help of his personal angel, conveyed in a minimalistic way, with bright colors.
