Biography:
In 2015, I participated in a joint exhibition with my best friend, Maria, at a library where we both attended summer activities. Two years later, in 2017, I held my first solo exhibition, which coincided with the 13th anniversary of the Akustika ensemble. At the time, I didn’t take it very seriously.
I began my artistic journey at a drawing school under the guidance of teacher Pepa Boyanova, the founder of the foundation "Malyk Zograf." After a short break, I studied with another teacher, but it was for a brief period, and I eventually stopped creating art for quite some time.
During the isolation period, I returned to art somewhat jokingly. What started as a lighthearted return quickly evolved—I launched my YouTube channel, initially named Art by Vicky, which I later rebranded to Queen of Fan Art.
