From Real to Surreal: The Artistic Evolution of Dimitar Velichkov

In this exclusive video presentation, I invite you to experience a deeply personal and transformative journey through my art — from expressive palette knife landscapes rooted in Bulgarian heritage and the timeless charm of Venice, to bold experimental works exploring symbolism, dream states, and surreal expression.

The 5-minute video traces my evolving approach to oil painting: beginning with classical compositions filled with texture and emotion, and gradually moving into a more intuitive, imaginative visual language.

These works are not just visual impressions — they are inner landscapes, painted in moments of reflection, freedom, and creative risk. Through color, texture, and form, I aim to communicate not just what I see, but what I feel.

Watch the video to explore this evolution — and perhaps reflect on your own journey through art, memory, and meaning.
