Variations in Color I is the first solo exhibition on the ArtWizard Platform of the Contemporary Bulgarian artist Nikolay Yanakiev We have the pleasure to present around 40 of his artworks on the ArtWizard platform. After his paintings became the property of the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, the National Gallery of Fine Arts La Valletta, Malta, the Mimara Museum, Zagreb and in many more renowned museums and private collections, the artist continues with his success.
He became the first contemporary Bulgarian artist to sell his paintings in one of the world most prestigious auction houses - the Christie's. The auction took place in July 2017 in London and was a great success for the artist. His painting The Studio was sold at a price five times higher than originally announced, by a foreign collector participating in the auction on the phone.
"It is a very pleasant and exciting opportunity, after so many individual and collective exhibitions, biennales and symposia at many prestigious museums and galleries not only in Europe, but around the globe, to exhibit my works in the virtual art space of ArtWizard, where all borders have gone and we, the artists, have the unique opportunity to meet the collectors and admirers of our art directly, even in the most remote places of the earth.", says the artist.
We are happy to welcome him as our first exhibiting author.
In the first part of his exhibition you can see his monumental paintings varying from 80 to 1.60 in terms of hight and width, where the artist is playing with the canvas and colors, using his unique and very special technique of mixing oil and acrylic paints and reliefs. As art experts, we believe that any artwork that is part of this exhibition of Nikolay Yanakiev is a very good and fine investment into the collection of any contemporary art lover. We highly recommend it.
