These small-sized watercolours are my first impressions of my stay at the National Academy of Arts, Sofia. All of them were made in my studio during my erasmus program, and they picture the atmosphere and life in the atelier. Some of the paintings are more like a mesmeric, fictional image based on the place’s spirit.

In these series I create an association chain based on the Tarot cards’ major arcana. I use trompe l’oeil technique to copy the cards, and to depict a plant (flower) and a ‘ready-made’ found object. I also use personal texts as the end of this chain. Concerned by the meaning of a card and its relation to my life made me start these series. When I am thinking about these meanings and emotions I unconsciously recognize objects in my life related to these issues.
