Biography
Radka Gicheva is a contemporary abstract artist whose vibrant compositions capture the essence of emotion through color and form. Born and raised in Bulgaria, she discovered her passion for art at an early age, spending countless hours exploring the interplay between light, shadow, and pigment.
With over two decades of dedicated practice, Gicheva has developed a distinctive style that bridges the gap between controlled technique and intuitive expression. Her work primarily features acrylics and mixed media, creating textured surfaces that invite both visual and emotional exploration.
Each canvas becomes a journey of discovery, where layers of paint build upon one another to create depth and movement. Her pieces have found homes in private collections across Europe, the United States, and beyond, resonating with collectors who seek art that speaks to the soul.
Artist Statement
My art is a dialogue between chaos and harmony. Each piece begins as an exploration—layers of paint applied intuitively, responding to the energy of the moment. Through this process, I seek to capture emotions that transcend language and connect directly with the viewer's soul. Abstract art allows me to express what words cannot, creating a visual language that speaks to our shared human experience."
