A painter with an extreme sensibility to the colors, Denitsa Mihaylova is exploring in her paintings fragments from nature and the world that surrounds us. The bizarre and sometimes invisible to the man elements become the main object of her work, refracted through the prism of her personal perceptions. They embody a deep and inner world that stays out of people's sight. That is why with her art Denitsa tries to reveal it to them with all its beauty and charm.
With an impressionistic approach and pointillistic strokes, she builds her images on the canvas, filled with flickering light and reflections. And it takes us to the depths of the sea, or on the fine hairs of a feather that has accidentally fallen from a bird, under the spray of a waterfall or on the beach, where the play of lights and shadows on the waves becomes a boundless source of inspiration.
