Stoyan Artist portrait

STOYAN LECHTEVSKI

Born: Sliven, Bulgaria

I paint to translate the hum of the world into color. What I see is never still—light trembles, memory flickers, and every moment carries a quiet music. My brush follows that music, breaking forms into small pulses of color, like notes scattered across a silent sky.

I do not chase realism.
I chase the invisible—the warmth beneath a scene, the pulse beneath a landscape, the breath of a moment before it disappears. My colors collide, dance, and dissolve because that is how life arrives to me: fragment by fragment, vibration by vibration.

In my work, the world becomes a symphony of strokes. Not to be understood, but to be felt—like the echo of something familiar, something healing, something alive inside you.

My hope is that my paintings awaken that hidden music in others. That in the rhythm of the colors, someone might find a spark of joy, a moment of peace, or the reminder that their own inner light is still burning.
