MITCHEV

| "My
painting is a message to all people who need love and
beauty. What everyone will see in them has already happened,
is happening at the moment or will happen in the future.
These images are inspired by the memory of mankind and
the purest vibrations that people feel"- this words
belongs to the Bulgarian artist PETER MITCHEV who lives
and works in Tampa, Florida. |

"
These paintings are like children to me and that is why
I am thankful if they bring joy and satisfaction. For
me, painting is a form of thinking. It is a way of living.
It is a mission impossible to give up. Painting is a salvation
for my wicked soul..."

The
US Critic for Peter
Mitchev :
" Mitchev, who recently moved to the Tampa Bay area
with his wife and two daughters, is one of the most productive
and successful artists in Europe. His works are on permanent
exhibit in galleries in 25 counties on five continents
and in private collections worldwide, including the home
of Pierre Duquet, lifetime academician of the French Beaux-Art,
where they hang on the wall next to Picasso and DeBuffet."

"Sensitive and strong, virtuoso in the game with
colours and master in the painting, settled deep roots
in the History, but surreal by inspiration, Peter Mitchev
obviously bounds up his art with the religion. It looks
like that probably he obtains, lead mostly by instinct
than by knowledge, from the sacred imagination of Assyria
and Egypt, Byzantium, the west Middle Ages and Venice
of Doges. And from those successfully harmonized strata
and supreme delight is born the art of Mitchev - holy
and passionate. Where
from come those magnificent dressed women, with hands
hold out to the sky, with eyes - large open and heavy,
scarcely awaken for our world? In order to make us feel
so deeply their dual nature, Mitchev shows with his
creation one of the most mysterious and most transcendent
perspectives of the contemporary art. "
