Matilda Finzi was born in Sofia, Bulgaria, in 2017. She is currently nine years old. She has been drawing ever since she could hold a pencil, using whatever materials she could find and drawing on every available surface.
On 5 June 2025, her first solo exhibition, 4-5-6-7, opened at Gallery 88 "Kamen Popov" in Sofia. The exhibition featured drawings created when she was four, five, six, and seven years old. The invitation came after gallery owners Yulita Popova and Jos Celis saw her illustrations in Itzhak Finzi's book Five Plays Retold by an Actor.
On 1 June 2026, her second solo exhibition opened at the House of Culture "Sredets" in Sofia, home to Bulgaria's first children's art gallery. On 4 June 2026, Gallery 88 "Kamen Popov" presented Shakespeare – Interpretation and Imagination, featuring works inspired by The Tempest, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Romeo and Juliet, The Merchant of Venice, and King Lear.
In addition to illustrating Itzhak Finzi's book (published in 2025), Matilda is the author and illustrator of her own book, Honk – a collection of humorous stories about imaginary little characters of her own creation called the Honks.
