Artist Statement:
Born February 28, 1963.
Graduated from the "S.S. Cyril
and Methodius" University in
Veliko Turnovo, Bulgaria,
Department of painting, in
1989. Member of the Union of
the Bulgarian Artists,
affiliated to the IAA/UNESCO
Lives and works in Pleven,
Bulgaria. Married. One
daughter - Petya.
Works in the sphere of
painting, graphics and graphic
design.
During the past years his work
is directed to the fantastic
mythfolklore world of the
Bulgarians. The eternal male
and female beginning and the
fight between evil and human
spirit are treated in the
mythfolklore cycle. Woodnymphs
and mummers are some of the
most frequently used
characters of the Bulgarian
folklore. Cultural variety -
from heathen-mytological
through ritual-folklore to
biblical-Christian symbolism -
is revealed in the
compositions.
The artist's colouring is
inspired of multi-coloured
nature and Orpheus land. The
pictorial construction is in
richly shaded and harmonious
tones suggesting wormth and
expressiveness. The
deformation is intentional and
leads to naive manner
subordinate to the irrational.

Artist Reviews:
"Defending his artistic world,
the author indirectly
indicates the distance between
life and eternal things. In
hie pictorial inventions
obtained from the Bulgarian
myths, legends and folklore,
Sasho Kambourov reminds us the
truth that the imagination,
inherent in man, is also a
reality."
Antonia
Karaivanova, art critic
"Carnaval-ritual,
