San Stefano Gallery | Sofia
30 April – 30 May
We’re proud to present a solo exhibition by Snejana Simeonova - the latest winner of the prestigious Ivan Lazarov Award for Sculpture.
Through bold abstraction and delicate balance, Simeonova’s works speak in quiet volumes — sculpting motion, memory, and stillness into form. This is a celebration of material, mastery, and the invisible forces that shape us.
Join us in honoring one of Bulgaria’s leading sculptural voices on April 30th from 6:00 - 9:00 p.m.
Only one week left until the opening of the exhibition of contemporary Japanese calligraphy by Sensui Oikawa!
September 18 – October 2
Official opening: September 18 (Wednesday), 6:00 PM
The contemporary master of Japanese calligraphy, Sensui Oikawa, has a rich creative biography with numerous national and international exhibitions, including in Paris, Los Angeles, Vienna, and others.
Her first visit to Bulgaria was in 1981 as the youngest member of a Japanese delegation of specialists in classical Japanese literature. At that time, Sensui Oikawa presented her calligraphy exhibition in the National Library and donated her works to its collection.
37 years later, in 2018, Sensui Oikawa visited Bulgaria again to showcase the exhibition "The World of Genji Monogatari" (the most representative work in classical Japanese literature).
After a break due to the COVID pandemic, she will return to Bulgaria to present her new works on the theme "Japanese Family Crests" at San Stefano Gallery.

PAINTINGS by VASSIL GORANOV
DECEMBER 23, 29, 30 | 2022
VASSIL GORANOV immortalizes the golden girls from Tokyo 2021 through paintings.
The exhibition “Together” is launching right on time – on the Eve of the greatest Christian festives. The title is chosen not by accident – it sends out a message for unanimity and is dedicated to the new golden girls that strengthened the foundation of spiritual and national oneness of Bulgarians.
The upcoming exhibition of the artist immortalizes the Graces that brought the first Olympic gold in rhythmic gymnastics for our country, but it all started three years ago – in the cold January days of 2019, before Simona Dyankova, Laura Traats, Madlen Radukanova, Stefano Kiryakova and Erica Zafirova to win the battle on the path to the historical success for the Bulgarian rhythmic gymnastics; and before Elena Bineva, participant in the initial selection of the golden olympic team, took the tough decision to leave the girls due to heavy back injury.
The show at San Stefano Gallery contains 17 oil paintings and is accompanied by an album that contains vibrant portraits of the Graces – heroes going down to the greatest pages of Bulgarian history.
Vasil Goranov is born in 1972 in Velingrad. He wins his first drawing contest at the age of 4. Despite being involved in drawing from an early age, he considers to be truly drawn to art after moving to Veliko Tarnovo where he graduated in Painting. The exhibition “Together” is the third solo show of the artist at San Stefano Gallery. In 2017 he presented the show “Historical romanticism” with 19 artoworks, recreating important historical events, rulers and great personalities from Bulgarian history.
Vernissage: 21 February 2023, 6 p.m. - 8 p.m.
San Stefano Gallery is launching a new exhibition this February – a solo show of the prominent Bulgarian sculptor Boris Gondov. The show is comprising of 100 artworks from bronze, wood and drawings, selected for their mastery and form by the living legend of Bulgarian sculpture - Boris Gondov.

The solo show of professor Gondov will be on display from February 21 - March 21 at San Stefano Gallery.
