The paintings of Peter Tzekov are owned by private individuals and companies from Bulgaria, Italy, Switzerland and the USA.
Here is what the artist shares about his work:
"My work is based on personal impressions of places I have visited. My love for nature is what provokes me to create my paintings, to refract and recreate emotions in colourful compositions. I love the green of the forest, the blue of the sea and its waters. I am also excited by the urban environment, with its small and cosy streets and the traces on the facades left from everyday life. I dream and look for the harmony between nature and people, which I turn into paintings from a fictional world. I like to experiment and I don't limit myself in a specific technique and style. I am driven exclusively by momentary emotions and moods. Sometimes I approach expressively with energetic strokes of the brush and spatula, and other times the approach is calm and casual, with decorative accents. I hope that my paintings provoke feelings and emotions that leave a pleasant and cheerful mood in the viewer."
