THIRD Place Award Winner
Lidia Simeonova / USA

I was born and grew up in Bulgaria, where I obtained a Masters Of Fine Arts from Velico Tarnovo University of Fine Art. My free spirit, and lust for discovery and exploration fueled a worldwide journey. As I traveled the world, my style and personality matured. My artwork tells a story—my story, of the different periods in my personal and creative life.

I spent many years as an abstract artist, but the human figure has always persisted in the creative process. Now the human expression and relationship are the leading thoughts when I take a brush or pencil.

My artwork is a reflection of my life. I project frozen moments—good and bad—onto the canvas. I want to create work in which life and painting blend in a perfect existential poem, to present the viewer with a harmonious, contemplative image, which speaks to the spiritual complexities of our existence.
