Hello, it's me.
I am an illustrator and animator from Plovdiv, Bulgaria, inspired by Japanese art, anime, and storytelling. My creative journey began with a fascination for the emotional depth and cinematic movement found in Japanese animation — a passion that grew into a lifelong pursuit of visual storytelling.
I completed a five-year program in Computer Animation, Digital Painting, Concept Art, and Character Design at the National High School of Stage and Film Design, Plovdiv (2020–2025). I am currently studying Japanese language and culture at International Language Academy (ILA) in Kobe, Japan, while preparing to continue my academic and artistic development through the Animation & Character Design Program at Osaka Seikei University.
My work bridges Eastern and Western aesthetics, combining expressive characters, atmospheric color, and dynamic composition. I aim to create stories that transcend language — works that connect inner emotion with outer motion, blending traditional drawing with digital techniques. I am excited to continue my journey, learning and growing as an artist.
