"Contemporary portrait №7" (2023) Drawing by Zlatina Ivanova

My name is Zlatina Ivanova and I am profesional self taught artist raised in Bulgaria. I create realistic drawings with special attention to human's emotions. I am really fascinated by different moods that can be expressed through portraits, it's like drawing a soul and this is magical to me. Something indescribable, private and real. I draw since I can remember myself , starting with the graphite pencil first. Nowadays I prefer working with charcoal, because it can offer more dramatic contrast and this is very valuable for me, it helps creating a certain mood and atmosphere . I am working profesionally as an artist the past seven years, trying constanstatly to improve my skills and to grow. I've sold a lot of artworks to private clients worldwide and been shown my art in galleries in my own country. I really enjoy the process of creating and this is my life.
