About the exhibition:
What to expect?
The exhibition includes 40 inspiring oil paintings that reveal the magic of Bulgarian seasons and holidays. Through these exquisite artworks, you will immerse yourself in the harmony and warmth of the Christmas spirit.
The winter paintings are the special highlight — they transport us into a world of old Bulgarian houses covered in soft snow, with glowing windows illuminated by festive light beneath gently falling snowflakes.
You will also enjoy breathtaking winter landscapes where the silence of the cold blends with the warmth of the sunset. Lakes wrapped in icy tenderness reflect the sun’s final rays. Each landscape carries a sense of peace and harmony, as if time has stopped to let the viewer dive into this crystal fairy tale. The exhibition also includes summer scenes, colorful poppy fields, golden sunflowers, ripening wheat, vibrant seascapes, and enchanting forest vistas.
About the Artist:
Daniela Stoykova is a young Bulgarian artist. As a student at AMTII Plovdiv, she developed the foundation of her painting technique. She perceives painting as a natural extension of her artistic nature — a unity of visual art, music, and stage presence. During 2017–2018, she participated in numerous exhibitions in Italy, including competition exhibitions. In January 2018, Alson Gallery — Milan presented her first solo exhibition “The Red Journey,” which attracted great interest.
In 2022, she made an important step in her artistic growth — she opened her physical gallery in Sofia: Daniela Stoykova Art Gallery. The gallery has become a permanent space for her new works and exhibitions, giving art lovers and collectors the opportunity to experience her original creations.
Style & Impact:
Her paintings are recognized for their bold layering of oil paint, palette-knife technique, rich textures, and delicate details. Her color palette has a therapeutic effect — it inspires and calms, continuing the spirit of her first gallery exhibition “Color Therapy.” The artworks radiate bright hues, elegant compositions, and emotionally uplifting atmospheres.
Daniela’s mission is to bring more light, warmth, and hope into the world through her art, making everyday life more colorful and inspiring.
Her paintings are owned by hundreds of people in Bulgaria and around the world — in the USA, Germany, Italy, Norway, Spain, Greece, France, England, Australia, and many other countries. International audiences appreciate her work for its universal language of beauty and light.
With this rich experience — international exhibitions, recognition abroad, and her own gallery at home — Daniela Stoykova is establishing herself as one of the promising names in contemporary Bulgarian art.
