The sea, freedom, wind and that special sadness with which we send off summer come to life in the new exhibition by artist Vlado Zapryanov. Under the title "We Remain..." the author will present his 35th solo exhibition, the opening of which is today, November 3, at 6:00 PM in the exhibition hall of the Society of Burgas Artists at 22 Aleksandrovska Street. The inspiration for the title comes from the unforgettable Bulgarian film “Orchestra Without a Name” and its characters, who despite everything decide to stay on the deserted seashore. It is this decision that becomes a kind of symbol of the exhibition – of the attachment to the sea, of memories that do not fade, and of the desire to preserve what makes us happy. "In the heart of autumn, sadness always amplifies the vibrations of the experienced emotions and feelings, born from the magic of the sea. The musicians in that film decided against everything and stayed, no matter that the coast was deserted. So I decided, through what I experienced last summer, to stay mentally on the coast with my paintings," the artist shares. A large part of the works are completely new, created especially for Burgas and the author's friends in the seaside city. Through the richness of colors, the freedom of the painterly gesture and the emotional suggestions, Vlado Zapryanov recreates his feeling for the sea - not just as a landscape, but as a space of memory, freedom and human experiences. "This exhibition is dedicated to the people on the shore, freedom, wind, autumn and the spirit of the sea. I am happy if it finds a common ground with the audience, in love with the infinity of the sea enigma," the author adds. Vlado Zapryanov is an established Bulgarian artist, whose painting is distinguished by expressiveness, rich color and philosophical suggestions. He was born in Dimitrovgrad, graduated from the Art High School in Kazanlak and majored in Painting at the Veliko Tarnovo University "St. St. Cyril and Methodius". His creative path includes numerous solo and collective exhibitions in Bulgaria and abroad. The artist maintains a special creative connection with Burgas. In 2022, he presented the exhibition "Visible and Invisible" in the seaside city, and now he returns with a new encounter in which the sea takes center stage. "And the heart of summer still beats..." - with these words Vlado Zapryanov invites the audience to discover in his paintings a piece of their own memories and feelings. The exhibition "We Remain..." can be viewed from November 3 to 14, 2026 in the exhibition hall of the Society of Burgas Artists, 22 Aleksandrovska Street.
