Notes


“A portrait of my friend Camillo, depicting his imagined re-entry into the social world after lockdown.” - Preslav Kostov, 2021

Preslav Kostov is a figurative artist who enjoys the surprises and surrender of control that is innate to oil paints and their fugitive nature. His work is rooted in process and drawing, whilst aiming to remain intuitive as an honest and direct response to his subject. Preslav explores narratives centred around the intimacy and suppressed emotions in the moments which lose the fight for our attention in the intensity of modern life. Working largely autobiographically and mainly from the people around him, he opens a window into his world. The paintings reflect it as he lives in it and experiences it.
