An exhibition by artist Zhivka Marinova named The Eternal City will open on February 11 at the Astry Gallery in Sofia, organizers said on Tuesday. The works will stay on display until February 28.

"The Eternal City is not a tourist walk through Rome. It has a much deeper and summarizing character and is another confirmation of the artist's high aesthetics and humanistic principles. It includes several 100/140 format oil paintings and a series of 20/30 cm miniatures painted over the past year," says Astry Gallery founder Vihra Pesheva.

According to her, Zhivka Marinova's cities are cities of refuge, cities of light, purity and respect for man and his creation.

In 2024 she became corresponding member of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (BAS). The artist has participated in numerous joint projects, has held solo exhibitions and has participated in general art exhibitions in Bulgaria and abroad.
