My name is Stoyan Zikov; I
was born on June 17, 1985 in Sofia, Bulgaria.
Producing art is a necessity in my life, but I see this as a scientific process
where I am a researcher seeking answers and testing different
"theorems". I work in the fields of sculpture, painting and drawing.
Each of these techniques allows me to delve deeper and go further in my search.
