When Emilia Emileva's parents bought a cottage in the picturesque Troyan Balkan, inadvertently they set up their daughter’s artistic path. The young Emilia became infatuated with visiting the local ceramics manufacturer where her neighbour was a decorator. She soaked in the aroma of clay and glaze, the strange and magical smell of colloidal gold, the heat of the furnaces, the humidity. Emilia enrolled in the Art School of Troyan and transitioned to the National Academy of Arts in Sofia. Her ceramic pieces are vibrant and full of delicate milky colours and imagination. Sometimes they directly lead to an existing form, like the Banana series, or gently walk one through a story. Emilia loves experimenting with various materials, but recently porcelain is her chosen one.
