Daniela Nikolova

Tar on Canvas

Daniela Nikolova was born in September 1976, in Sofia – the capital city of Bulgaria. From a very early age art was an inseparable part of her life, her biggest passion however was painting. Daniela grew up away from nature, in the heart of the city. She did not grow up near horses, but the beauty of these animals made her fall in love with them since childhood. For the last 15 years she has been living in a small town in Greece and has had the pleasure of spending time around and learning more about horses. The small city has given her the opportunity to have her own treasure - ORION XLVII- Caballos Mayoral, a purebred Spanish Horse. The 4 year old Andalusian was born in Zaragoza, Spain in the stable of Jose Maria Caballos Mayoral. Daniela is strongly connected with the Jose's horses – they are the only source of inspiration for her paintings. “Some part magic and myth, some part mystic and spiritual, those are the ingredients that make me feel as if I am a part of the Caballos Mayoral spirit” she says. In the past years she has been preparing a collection of paintings themed “ENTENDIDO & INDIO” – Caballos Mayoral.
