Rosena Teodorova – Bulgaria – Graphic Collage
To create is to give.
To give is to create.
The theme “Creative Bulgaria for the World” is an invitation to rethink creativity as an act of giving—of knowledge, inspiration, and a vision of the future. The exhibition explores the connection between roots and horizons—between Bulgaria as a source and the world as a stage where Bulgarian talent is brought to life and shared.
I present my work through four original collages—portraits of Bulgarian whose creativity and achievements have contributed to global progress in various fields. They are Stefka Kostadinova—a symbol of top-level athletic success; Asen Hristov Yordanov—an aviation pioneer; Christo—an artist with global influence; and Prof. Dr. Ivan Mitev—a scientist who has contributed to cardiology.
Each of them embodies the idea that creation is not merely a personal act, but a gift to the world.
And they are not the only ones…
It is our task to continue along the path these great figures have laid out before us, and to proudly declare to the world: “Yes, we are Bulgarians!”
