Maestro Lilly Sotirova is a Bulgarian artist born in 1987. She began her studies in art at the School of Fine Arts in Sofia. Her interest in fashion encouraged her to continue in this path and she joined a front line Art School of Sofia, where she specialized in fashion trends and management. After crossing the Atlantic, she continued her course, but in the United States where she currently lives, in the fashion and design institute of art. Sotirova is extremely open minded while exchanging with others. Nourished by the history of art, she is particularly affected by the work and personality of Salvador Dalí or Klimt, she sometimes refers to them in her paintings. We can very quickly perceive the spiritual dimension in her work, including meaningful symbols such as the eye. This means both divine and mystery, it reminds us of Dali's subconscious eye. The notion of balance or imbalance also counterbalance the subject of her painting, mostly colorful abstracts. Sensitivity is given a log of importance. Sotirova paints with a lot of feeling. She has a passion for questions about energies in the universe and their interaction, painting is a medium, which allows her to experiment and exploit these questions. She preaches in the name of the present moment and the importance of living the present, to the fullest. Painting and poetry make up her sensitive and out of sync world, where kindness of humanity is the pillar. This accentuated taste for spirituality in art is present due to the artist's past, as she survived a car accident. Sotirova has done several personal exhibitions and also exhibited with other artists at the European Information Center of Sofia on the theme "Celebrate the European citizen," where Sotirova was the youngest artist guest. Her works are owned in private collections in the USA, Europe and around the world.
