Dimitar Solakov
Info
Dimitar Solakov (b. 1987) graduated from the New Bulgarian University in Sofia from the Department of Photography. The artist is using a wide range of media including photography, video, drawings, paintings, 3d printed objects, among others. In his work he is investigating various types of connections – between nature, urbanization and the human placed in the middle; between the past and its interpretations in the present.
