The Minerva Gallery at the Grand Hotel Sofia Lobby never ceases to delight the art lovers all year round. Afresh flavor is brought by the title of Ralitsa Dencheva’s exhibition – Garden of Soul, which is on display until mid-September. The exhibition of 16 oil canvases conveys an existentialist message – let us discover the flower garden inside ourselves and follow Beauty everywhere, even though it may have wings and we have not, because where there is no Beauty, there is nothing. “I’ve paint the eternally blooming garden of the soul, inhabited by flowers and angels, a garden free of fences and keepers, a treasury that is always open to the beholder. In it one can enter freely and find joy in the simplest manifestations of the soul – just like we find in the most common flowers the whole glory and beauty of the Spring”, says the author.

From 14 September onward, the gallery will host works of another talented artist – Dimitrina Doychinova. Her exhibition, entitled Trajectories was inspired by the energy of the generations before us, searching for spirituality. After a long wondering around the world and encountering different cultures, Doychinova returns to her roots. Nymphs and mermaids, brides and old women – all of these colorful images of the Bulgarian folklore and fairy tales come to the life in her canvases. The painter says: “Trajectories for me are those zones of my nation’s spirit and creativity, feeling and emotions, intertwined in songs and dances, that are incredible source of ideas for my creative work”.
