NORA AMPOVA
BORN:

EDUCATION:
2014 - MA Painitng - National Academy of Arts, Sofia
2012 - BA Painting - National Academy of Arts, Sofia
My work explores themes of being self-sufficient, travel, and the quiet power of nature that rises above us. Inspired by a slower, analog way of living, I reflect on solitude, contemplation, and personal experience. Working primarily in painting, I use experimentation to continuously develop my visual language.
