8 moments of Bilos
7 January 2021
text Violeta Ivanova
If you’ve passed by Veslets Str. lately, then you’ve already seen a piece by this Greek artist. He and his Bulgarian colleague Glow recently rolled up their sleeves and changed the appearance of an old corner house to make it one of the attractions of the last KvARTal fest, which always takes place in this area of Sofia. Now Bilos is ready to show us a bit more of himself in his exhibition, which kick starts the year at Gifted. We can see it until January 31, but before that let's get to know the artist better. -

"In the profession we all try to find our own personal thing", she writes to us from London, where she lives. Her things is to use both her Science as well as her Art diploma in her drawings. That's the short story of her adaptation of Darwin's Origin of Species for kids. The book appeared first in English, and is now translated in 31 languages.

She says she's a pretty anxious and impatient person. That's probably why she loves spending time in the mountains, which is also probably the only place she doesn't bring her to-dolist with her. In fact, she has several separate notebooks, in which she records everything: her travel diaries, her dreams, her sad or happy everyday thoughts. -

Broken videotapes, plastic bags, slices of bread, torn magazines and old poems, photos and drawings of hers. Such things can coexist inside one of the gloomy digital collages that Galina uploads to her Instagram. She often names them after songs because music is her muse (“I've been wandering between two bands for a while now - Godflesh and Brainiac). -

Skulls, cats, robots, burning and melting things in impossible detail which you want to attack with a felt tip. Such drawings fill Simeon's Instagram, while in the future he imagines to do viral comics, short animations, clothing, stickers and street art. -

After 3 years of studying Animation in London, the academic environment kind of made her hate it and drop it at the end - at least for now, Then she traveled the world for another 3 years, trying to be as sustainable as she can - she had little luggage, little money and slept in a tent and on people's couches a lot. All of this made Andreea (who's originally from Timisoara, Romania) a pretty flexible person. -

He would not know 4 languages today, nor appreciate academic knowledge had his family not moved to Luxembourg when he was a kid. However, the country turned out to be too organized and sterile for his liking, so he went to study Graphic Design in Brussels before finally returning to Sofia to continue in the same direction. -

She knows she's good with the pencil since classmates started piling around her desk, asking her to draw them princesses and famous cartoon characters. Two art diplomas and years of design experience later the situation is "I draw because of joy, sadness, boredom, when there's something I want to say or when there's nothing to say, when I've just bought a new 6B pencil or I don't wanna throw away the wrapping paper with cool texture and color. " -
