Life Events

For me, painting is a way to express myself, passion and love. When I paint, I rediscover the beauty and colorful palette of life. I feel satisfied and happy. I believe that we all have the need to find our purpose in life, to make the world more beautiful and harmonious place to live in and to be useful to others. Seven years ago, I realized that my art is interesting to people and the world needs it. My colorful paintings bring positive emotions, hope and light to the humdrum  routine of the  gray everyday life.

My mission is to make people happier. I seek for my paintings to be positive and to make impact, to radiate happiness, harmony and love and most of all – to convey these feelings to everyone who looks at them!

About me

Daniela Stoykova is a young Bulgarian artist born in the town of Nova Zagora in 1990.

She has been creating art since a child, deepening her knowledge in the field of oil painting as a student in arts academy – AMTII Plovdiv.

In 2017 – 2018 she has participated in numerous exhibitions in Italy and won the awards: First prize in the Food Art – Bellinzago competition, and the Sigillo Award for significant achievements in the field of painting at the La riseria Gallery in Novara, Italy.

In January 2018, Alson Gallery in Milan, presents her first personal exhibition – “The Red Journey”, which enjoys much success and interest.

In March 2018, сhe participated in Damars ‘prestigious exhibition “La donna nell’ arte” at the Museum of Art and Culture, Milan, presented by the world-famous art critic Vittorio Sgarbi. Daniela was a member of the art organisation “Arte ad Arona”, and participated in various exhibitions in the cities: Arona, Stresa, Milan, Oleggio, Oleggio Castello, Novara, Belinzago and Turin.

Stoykova’s journey in art symbolizes the path of the strong woman and the human soul, which goes through difficulties, rain, snow, darkness, cold and wind, but always continues ahead, always reaching for light and never giving up.

Sometimes love and romance illuminate her world, sometimes everything sinks into melancholy and sadness. She has a shield of dreams and hopes presented by the red umbrella that protects her vulnerable and tender soul.

Daniela Stoykova’s artistic language is formed by vivid colors and strong impact. The graceful silhouettes, almost like a mirror of the soul of each of us, inhabit the magical space of Daniela Stoykova’s paintings. A major element in this artistic journey is the color red, which awakens emotions provoking strong and contrasting sensations such as passion and pain.
