Skener Gallery has launched a new initiative: Skener „Craft“, which will present applied arts and crafts of Bulgarian artists. Our first author we want to introduce to you is Petya Zasheva.

Bulgarian-Maltese artist Petya Zasheva presents mixed media in ethnic style with the theme of the Balkans and love. “As a Balkan artist based in the Mediterranean, I was inspired and drawn to the parallels and bifurcations of my two identities through visual art.

Cultural heritage carries an inherent universal value that embraces tradition but develops when engaged with it. Lost in Balkans is the path of my dual identity through the symbiosis of tradition, heritage and contemporary art.“
