'The Elixir of Life' contemporary painitngs and drawings exhibition

Cerise Art Agency is delighted to present for the first time in London the works of two outstanding contemporary Bulgarian artists.

The Smithfield Gallery will host for one week only a selected collection of oil paintings and graphic drawings by Diyan Dimitrov and Iasen Dimitrov. Accomplished painters and remarkable observers, they came to tell the story of their search for balance and harmony, and ultimately – the Elixir of Life. The beautiful tale takes us on an amazing journey where pain and bliss transcend from dream to reality, from past to present. We share and associate with their inspiration, visions and expectations admiring the power of their images. Their love of reflection, shape and colour stretches beyond the fragile frame of the human life and explores its existence wonderfully embedded with the nature. Humanising the animals and plants in their paintings is a further step in highlighting the role of the surrounding world as a friend, teacher and witness.

The exhibition is a rare opportunity for the London public to enjoy the works of Diyan and Iasen and to mark their debut into the local scene. With their paintings and drawings selling in many private collections in Europe, we are sure they will be well received in London.

Diyan Dimitrov was born in 1977 in Sofia, Bulgaria. He graduated the National Academy of Fine Arts and has been exhibiting mainly abroad, with most of his works being held in private collections. Diyan works in the field of composition, portrait and still life. An accomplished painter and astute observer, his paintings are his travel-log to the Modern day romanticism. Diyan works between London and Varna, Bulgaria.

Iasen Dimitrov was born in Sofia Bulgaria in 1969 and is a graduate of the Institute of sculpture and ceramic arts. He lives and works in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria and has held numerous exhibitions in Europe. In 1999 he was chosen to participate in the creation of the centrepiece of the Tibetian Peace Garde in London, opened officially by H.H. Dalai Lama. Iasen is based in Las Palmas, Grand Canarias.

The exhibition will take place at The Smithfield Gallery, 16 West Smithfield, London, EC1A 9HY from 22nd November until 28th November. Opening times 10am-6pm. Website www.thesmithfieldgallery.com
