Albert Hadjiganev Exhibition
Axelle Fine Arts
This event has ended.
The serene skies, comfortable curves and minimalist, soothing landscapes in an Albert Hadjiganev painting are a deceptive representation of the artist’s soul. They belie a lifetime of struggle to achieve an artistic dream. Born in 1954 in Bulgaria to a family of artists, Hadjiganev fantasized of an artistic Parisian existence throughout childhood. He studied photography in Sofia and was influenced by the work of his painter father and sculptor brother. However, he never forgot his ultimate goal: to study at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Therefore, at the age of 28, he left his native land and walked across the border. After numerous hardships, he finally reached Paris, where he eked out a hungry existence as a starving young artist. By 1987, however, his struggle paid off, he graduated from the prestigious Ecole, and his dream was fulfilled.
As a minimalist, Hadjiganev captures the simple moments of daily life with only a few elements. With perfect technique and deep sensitivity, he freely transfigures reality to create a mysterious environment filled with grace. With harmony, loneliness of the soul and a peaceful nostalgia, Hadjiganev invites the viewer to meditate and dream.
