*long caption alert* I am so happy to finally share with you this great project in which i recently got invited to take part of. ♥️ * A project that includes 40 stories of powerful and passionate bulgarian women from the history of Bulgaria, which were portrayed by another 40 passionate bulgarian women. 👏 * I feel super lucky that the woman i had to portrait was Maria Vlaykova. A woman and a teacher with a fire in her heart, with ardent faith in art education and a dream - to give to Sofia,Bulgaria a place for literary and musical evenings, folk readings and fairy tales. She mortgages all family property to build two floors building with a comfortable lounge and a cinema. * Maria died shortly after the first floor was completed. The fate of the building is further dramatic and changing. During the March,1944 bombing, the building was set on fire and almost burned along with the inventory. * But her dream still came true.💜 Sofia today enjoys the most iconic cinema in the city. The construction of the building began in 1925 on 9 Ivan Asen II Blvd., next to the Eagle Bridge, opposite the Boris Garden, where the Vlaykova Cinema is located today. * Biggest thanks to Kapka Kaneva for the invitation, to Petya Aleksandrova and Ciela for creating this powerful project! 🔮🙌🔮 * You can find the book in all bookstores around the country. 📖 ♥️ . . . #illustration #stalkersince1993 #illustrationoftheday #editorialillustration #bookillustration #ciela #illustratorsofinatagram #bookstagram #bookillustrator #portraitoftheday #bookcoverart (at Sofia, Bulgaria) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5UcsHIDIBB/?igshid=8fd72cdylg2f
