Working in a giant factory, he sings in a room and a mixed choir. His beautiful bass resonated on every stage of Sophia, and at the same time attracted his free time. The smell of oil paintings in the studio of the famous Bulgarian artist Slavka Deneva gave her a strong desire to become a professional artist. Having become his pupil, Georgi took his first serious steps in painting. Since then, he devotes all his free time to drawing, mastering various techniques and genres.

At the factory, a group of artists, together with Georgy, created an art studio, where his first exhibitions were held, and where he heard the first serious comments from the famous Bulgarian critic Lyuben Belmustakov.

The hard work at the factory and the intense music and painting lessons took a toll on Georgi's health. To recover, he went to live in the village of Goritsa, not far from the sea. Little by little, alongside the paintings, he began to paint portraits in the seaside resort of Sunny Beach.

Since 1990, as a professional artist, he paints portraits, paintings, alternating various techniques and styles - pastel and oil, realism and impressionism, seascapes, surrealism and free works in the style of abstract symbolism. At the end of the 90s, with the Ministry of Culture, he rented the building of the old church "St. Todor", in the old town of Nessebar, in which, after restoration, a gallery opened. art, which is still in business.
