Dimitar Hinkov

I was born and raised in an artists’ family. Being a grandson and a son of two of the Bulgarian most prominent artists, it was inevitable to be fascinated by the world of art.

I make brave art experiments with paintings’ bases, materials and techniques. I substitute the typical painting base, the canvas with non-typical materials, such as metal, cardboard, hand-made paper. Then I combined it with the materials’ effect of resin, lacquer, silicone, hand-made paper, auto paint and various structures. During the years I try to master and subdue the material through my experiments. I am intrigued by the colour itself and the various structure of the painting surface. I create a new vision of the painting, a new understanding of art piece.

I want to provoke the public’s imagination in interpreting my paintings. Everyone to find his own world, shapes and elements in paintings. The person to be reflected by the paintings’ surface and thus the surface becomes a mirror in which he sees himself transformed. My goal is to commit the public emotionally with my art – either hate it or love it but never being apathetic.
