Last weekend I was incredibly happy to visit the absolutely beautiful expo honouring 130 years of the birth of one of the most amazing Bulgarian painters, Vladimir Dimitrov, known also as the Master (Majstora)...Masterpieces from different corners of Bulgaria were gathered and put on display in the halls of the National Art Gallery...My favourite painter was born in 1882 and for some 78 years he had kept on capturing the beauty of the people living&working in the nature. Most of his works depict his friends and/ or neighbours during their daily life, on the field or by fruit picking. A lot of apples, pears and flowers are present in his happy-making and heart-warming masterpieces! I hope you get a bit of the feeling of this lovely event from my pictures!
For a lot of the paintings the sketches done by the painter, were available next to art piece, as the one below.

What an amazing gallery. And the architecture of the interior is awesome too :D We wouldn't mind spending few hours here too :D
I always enjoy seeing an artist's sketches and then the finished product. His paintings show vivid color as well as character.
The National Art Gallery itself is a piece of treasure! Beautiful structure and resonates so much history.
those are beautiful art collection, Jana.
Thank you Jana for showing us this lovely colourful work, and housed in a wonderful gallery too.
Your favorite painter obviously loved fruits, as you do...

thanks dear all! The masterpieces of Majstora are really heart-warming, arent they?
@Filip: I was trying to show the expoplus the interior of the ex royalpalace, thats why I supposed our pics of paintings differe, right?:-))
Having the original drawings and sketches adds another layer of meaning and appreciation to these marvellous works!
Have a great day!!
Jana, wat een prachtig museum is dit. Mooie serie foto's. Groetjes Dietmut
A beautiful building houses such lovely art. I like how the interior is painted so white that it really brings out the contrast of the artwork.
Vladimir Dimitrov's painting are wonderful, a unique and beautiful combination of people and flower/fruits.
Jana you mentioned the use of cornflowers in tea. Could I dry my own different coloured cornflower petals to make my own? Do the petals add flavour or only colour to the tea mix?
You have become a picture in the first picture.
Such freedom in Europe, here fotos not allowed in musuems or art exhibits !
I know,and have admired Vladimir Dimitrov's work in some of my art books.The painting of the elderly couple seated side by side is one of my favourites.What a fabulous exibition, and the Bulgarian National gallery is a work of art in itself.Brilliant post and photos.
