Velislava Bozhinova
Velislava Bozhinova’s jewelry is like an experiment of artistic challenge, in which the relationship between man and nature always stands out. It is inspired by organic, three-dimensional shapes that transform into small sculptural objects-jewels. Although at the beginning of her career, Velislava has already successfully exhibited her jewelry in galleries in Sofia and Europe, impressing with a strong personality, a special creative approach and a freedom of choice of materials and lines.
Velislava Bozhinova was born in Pleven, 1988. She has a Master degree in Jewelry from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, Antwerp and a Bachelor degree in Metal from the National Academy of Arts, Sofia
DESIGN IS: the way we materialize our inner, invisible world.
