“Marble Tenderness” - Original handmade painting on limestone Sculpture

My name is Hristina – Heli Stoycheva. I am an Artist since I was born. I cannot remember any other way to express all my feelings and passion. I am always looking for something new, passionate and unique to implement in my Art ideas. Usually I avoid to use many words to describe my art. My belief is that as it is visual art, it would "talk" by itself. I would like people to see in my artworks something for themselves. I hope they can find their own thing in my art and to feel it! Because Art should make people feel, to feel the deepest emotions of their own soul. And I adore when I create my own, deep and hidden meaning in my paintings... I adore the feeling that this is something that only I know about. It is in complete harmony with me as a person. I have always kept my own world very much. The feeling is so personal, so mine, so intimate and divine... I am not afraid of the extremes of my Art as you can see. I love the extremes! I like to paint what I am feeling - realism, abstraction . . . It is all about mood, feelings, development and the specific life stage I am in. I fully realize that I hold in my hands not only a brush or a pencil. I hold a pure deep satisfying feeling of happiness and harmony. I believe that an artist should develop in more than one direction. That's why I work in different styles, I experiment, I search... For me this is extremely important in order to have a fresh look and develop my skills to the maximum... And I'm always in search of more and more skills even deep inside me. They may be hidden but it is my task in this lifetime to seek them... to seek them through action, through experiment, through growth... "A work of art which did not begin in emotion is not art." ~ Paul Cezanne
