Sarieva

Sarieva Gallery was founded by Vesselina Sarieva in 2021 as a third generation gallery inheriting the familial galleries which effected a crucial development in the international popularization of Bulgarian contemporary art. The gallery is not simply an artspace – it is furthermore a program and a statement on art that stimulates a dialogue and an understanding of contemporary artworks that goes beyond the physical gallery space.

The gallery headquarter is located in Plovdiv, the second biggest city in Bulgaria and one of the main cultural centers, known for its rich history and artistic scene. The rich, innovative and ambitious program exceeds the traditional model of the white cube and the black box.

Sarieva Gallery works with a wide range of artists and represents the leading names in Bulgarian contemporary art like Nedko Solakov, Luchezar Boyadjiev, Pravdoliub Ivanov, Stefan Nikolaev and artists such as Rada Boukova, Kamen Stoyanov and Valio Chenkov. The gallery also supports the work of young and emerging artists such as Rudi Ninov. Apart from the represented authors, Sarieva works along with a more widely selected portfolio of artists by financing their creative activities and exhibiting their works.

The gallery is simultaneously an acclaimed pioneer in discovering and re-discovering authors by assisting their career development. As well as bolstering the collectors’ interest in Bulgarian contemporary art and enriching art collections with newly discovered or little-known authors.
