Peter Boyadjieff
Exhibition of experimental photography
Museum of Photography, Kazanlak
8 – 24 May 2025
Petar Boyadjhieff is a multi-expressive artist, painter, photographer and organizer of the Annual International Exhibition “Miniprint – Kazanlak” in the Art Gallery – Kazanlak.
He gave a meaningful name to his exhibition – ‘miradOr’, in the broad sense of ‘point of view’, but with an emphasis on the personal and individual vision of each person.
In ‘miradOr’, Petar Boyadjieff presents experimental photography printed on paper handmade in Mexico from a specific type of wood from the Amate tree.
The exhibition includes mostly photographs from his recent travels in the Americas including countries from Kanada, where the artist lives, to Colombia and of course some images from his native Bulgaria.
His allegorical images combine physical realism and poetic imagery to critically engage the viewer and convey powerful ideas within a broader cultural context.
