Papazoff Gallery - the contemporary classics... It was established in
1997. Since then more than 120 exhibitions took place.
To be universally acknowledged is the supreme award for an artist. For
that reason the concept of the gallery is to present to connoisseurs and
collectors such works of art that will outlive the transience. The genre
diversity also contributes to the achievement of this aim.
From works of pure
realism to pure abstract once co-exist in the temple of art. The Bulgarian
art is popular all over the world. The artists exhibiting their works in
the gallery are well-known and recognized not only in Bulgaria but abroad
as well. Some of their artworks are possessions of galleries and private
collections in Europe, America and Asia. The mission of "George Papazoff"
art gallery is to convert art into a messenger of beauty and love. |
