ak.mal. Rumen Sazdov

Rumen Sazdov (*1959) was influenced by the artistic environment from an early age, when his mother - a puppet theatre director - used to take him behind the scenes and in front of them. After art high school in Sofia, he attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Veliko Tarnovo, specializing in figurative painting. Rumen knew the Czech Republic through his uncle, the prominent post-war architect Parvan Pop-Jordanov, who lived and worked in Brno and used to bring him crayons and watercolours, which could not match the quality of the Bulgarian ones. Since September 1989, Prague has been the artist's home. One of the important turning points in the artist's career was when he was contacted by a representative of the Paris agency Claude Robert Joël Millon (now Millon Associés). This was followed by the auction sale of 56 paintings through the Drouot-Richelieu auction house in Paris. Thanks to the successful auction sale, the artist is listed in the MAYER auction catalogue (artnet.com) The owners of Mr. Sazdov's works include Prince Kirill Tarnovsky, the Spanish Marquise Gloria Ferera des Monsolis, Countess Christine d'Barout, Princess Stephanie of Monaco, Madame Bernadette Chirac, the guitarist of the Scorpions Mr. Schenker, the actor Bruce Willis, Mrs. Livia Klaus and others.
