Rumen Malchev creates a familiar fantasy-like universe, which makes the spectator think about his childhood years, far from the complex and dejected adult world. The artist's work is colorful with structured compositions due to their strong horizontal lines, representing the horizon or dividing the image. He also uses vertical lines to create a narration, which leads the spectator right to the sky.
