Angela Gabriel

Angela Gabriel is one of the defining Bulgarian contemporary artists of her generation. Having graduated from the Bulgarian Academy of Fine Art, her work spans decades and is forged by the constantly shifting social, cultural, and political landscapes of the thwentieth century. She has shown her work in 63 individual and group exhibitions and projects. Her work takes one away from the ephemeral and into the eternal, with a faint trace of the absurdity we call real life. The spaces she shows are where we all meet in our dreams – the realm that transcends borders and language. In this refuge, we have the chance to think and feel in peace, to be at once together and alone.
