The programme titled In the home of Vera Nedkova continues to present contemporary Bulgarian artists in the apartment filled with myriad memories and testimonies of the spirit of the time in which Vera Nedkova lived and created.

Alongside Nedkova’s paintings, five canvases by Angela Terzieva are arranged. At first glance incompatible in their pictorial and compositional technique, they seek a dialogical bond concentrated on the female figure and sensitivity. Focused on a diverse perspective but a specific approach, Terzieva’s works present the body as an independent object in which the artist seeks a synthesis between movement and repose. In endeavouring to build a new pictorial reality devoid of concreteness and narrative, she expresses herself freely, without taboos, focusing on her own body, rethinking the idea of its perfection in the consumer world in which we live.
