site.btaCurator Doroteya Yaneva Brings Together Bulgarian and Italian Artists in Sofia Exhibition

An exhibition of Bulgarian artist Nikolai Deliyanev and Italian artists Francesco Patane and Tarim Tatusic curated by Doroteya Yaneva will be presented at the Mission Gallery of the State Cultural Institute under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Sofia. The exhibition "Vibration - The Fluid Movement of Human Body" will open on January 16 and will run until February 28, the organizers said.

The team notes that the exhibition was born out of the cooperation between the cultural institutes of Italy in Sofia and that of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Bulgaria. "The aim is to present the work of three artists from Italy and Bulgaria, mixing two different nationalities and three styles and companies. Three types of art such as sculpture, large-scale paintings and works with optical illusions will be presented," they said.

An exhibition that wants to exploit in 360 degrees the human body and its fluidity in a thousand ways. One of the highlights, a 12 square meter triptych by Francesco Patane (Body and Mind in Motion), bearing his personal technique and style, is made by using asphalt and acrylic paints on jute, says the team.

Francesco Patane is from Rome and was born in 1986. He studied at the Faculty of Architecture of Sapienza University of Rome in a course on landscape. From an early age he developed his own original style, which led him to art with its unconventional technique. In recent years, the artist has been represented by Horton Gallery Seoul.

Nikolay Deliyanev is a Bulgarian artist who has dedicated his quest in art to creating visual compositions in which the lines and colors resemble an energetic, sensual and vibrating dance. With his works he builds a rhythmic symphony of shapes and shades giving life to optical and geometric phenomena. Throughout his career, Deliyanev has participated in numerous biennales including the Genoa Biennale, the Biennale of Contemporary Art in Viterbo, the Biennale of Anzio and Nettuno and as a finalist at the International Biennale of Rome. 

Tarim Tatusik was born in Italy. His work leads him to travel between Rome and Berlin. He looks for inspiration for his drawings in the urban landscape of Berlin. For his sculptural works he takes historical Italian sculpture as models. He lives and works in Rome.
