Through intimate interviews, delving into the life and work of Genko Genkov, our documentary offers a glimpse into the inspiration, passion and creativity that define his art.

The project will be presented by the author Todor Todorov.
Genko Genkov mainly creates landscapes, which are distinguished by a characteristic author’s handwriting, bright color and relief surfaces. Over the years, the artist experimented with different approaches and techniques of work. In the 1970s, he developed the possibilities of different materials, treated oil paint like watercolor, treated the surface with sand or replaced the brush with a knife. In the 1990s, he used pigments reminiscent of ceramic glaze.
