Hristo Kolev

Hristo has a master’s degree in medicinal chemistry. He believes that modern science is a multidisciplinary study which asks of scientists to have encyclopedic knowledge and experience in all its shapes and forms. He had authored scientific papers and an international patent in the field of organic semiconductors. As an artist he is devoted to the idea of unfolding and sharing the beauty of science to his audience. His installations have been shown during DA Fest, Water Tower Art Fest, Sofia Science Festival.

The language of science has its own abstract nature which often makes it inaccessible for both intellectual understanding and emotional engagement. To deal with that issue for his works, Hristo often uses paint that had never been seen before inside a gallery, while their emotional charge remains hidden in the multiple levels of understanding. Both his artistic and scientific work are devoted to the interaction of fields with matter.
